Thai Green Curry Soup Recipes

THAI GREEN CURRY SOUP

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, cook the noodles (or rice or grains) according to the package instructions. Drain in a colander, then rinse with cold water, and drizzle with a splash of oil (or I like to use toasted sesame oil), and toss until the noodles are evenly coated. This will help prevent them from sticking. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, get your broth going. Heat oil in a separate large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and sauté for 1 more minute, stirring occasionally. Then add in the veggie stock, coconut milk, curry paste and ginger, and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the broth reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until ready to use. Taste and season with salt and pepper, as needed. Meanwhile...
• As I mentioned above, you can either cook your protein actually in the broth, or separately (in the oven, on the stove, or in the Instant Pot, depending on your protein) and then add it in at the end.
• You also have the choice of cooking your veggies actually in the broth, or separately (in the oven, on the stove, or in the Instant Pot, depending on your veggies). Or, of course, feel free to sauté any veggies that you'd like along with the onions when making your broth.
• Once the elements above are all ready to go, you can either combine and stir them all together in your big stockpot. Or, you can layer them together in your individual serving bowls. Then sprinkle each serving bowl with your desired toppings, serve warm and enjoy!

• Add squash, coconut milk, curry paste, 3 tablespoons fish sauce and 3 cups water or stock. Increase heat to high. When liquid comes to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook the soup covered until squash is tender, about 25 minutes.
• Make garnish while soup cooks: In a medium mixing bowl, toss together peanuts, coconut flakes, fish sauce, chiles, 1 tablespoon oil, the minced lemongrass, the sugar and the lime leaves, if using.
• Spread mixture out onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes after the first 10 minutes. Remove from oven when coconut is deep golden brown, and pour mixture immediately into a bowl to prevent overcooking. Stir to combine, and set aside.
• Remove soup from heat. Remove lemongrass stalks from pot. Use a hand blender to purée soup. Alternatively, transfer soup in batches to a blender or food processor and purée. Taste and adjust for salt and curry paste. Add water or stock to thin soup to the desired consistency.
• Thinly slice the basil leaves and arrange on a small plate or platter, along with lime wedges and peanut mixture. Serve soup hot with garnishes.
