THAI RED CURRY SOUP

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Add shrimp to pot and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until pink, turning halfway through. Set aside.
• Add remaining olive oil, bell pepper, onion, and garlic to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes or until tender. Stir in curry paste and ginger. Cook 1 minute, or until fragrant.
• Stir in stock, coconut milk, and rice, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced, about 10 minutes. Stir in fish sauce and brown sugar. Remove from heat.
• Using an immersion blender, puree soup in pot. Or carefully transfer soup in batches to a large food processor or blender, covering opening with a dish towel, and blend until pureed. Return soup to pot.
• Stir in green onions, cilantro, basil, and lime juice. Divide soup evenly among 6 bowls and top each bowl with 3 shrimp. Serve immediately.

RED THAI CURRY CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the garlic, ginger, and Thai red curry paste and cook, stirring constantly, until dark red and very fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, fish sauce, lemongrass, 1 teaspoon salt and a pinch of sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the lemongrass and ginger are tender, about 15 minutes. Discard the lemongrass.
• Meanwhile, put the noodles in a medium bowl and cover with hot water. Let stand for 10 minutes, then drain and set aside. Toss together the red onion, cilantro, scallions and Thai basil in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Stir the chicken into the broth and simmer over low heat until tender, 5 minutes for chicken breast and about 15 minutes for chicken thighs. Increase the heat to high and stir in the noodles. Bring the soup to a boil, then immediately remove from the heat. Stir in the lime juice. Serve the soup in bowls topped with the reserved onion and herb mixture.

SCRUMPTIOUS THAI COCONUT RED CURRY

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan combine 1/2 to Tbsp Red Curry paste (I like it spicy -- so I use 1 Tbsp) with one can of coconut milk. (I use light coconut milk to save calories/fat).
• Simmer for 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup fresh basil, 1/4 cup bamboo shoots, 3 tsp Fish Sauce, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, 1/3 cup chicken stock, and 1/2 cup of your favorite mushrooms (I use the Japanese style and shitake). Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
• While you are simmering -- saute the chopped peppers (1 or 2 inch pieces) and chopped onion in a frying pan or wok lightly covered in olive oil. Fry lightly peppered chicken breasts till cooked through.
• Place sauteed peppers and onions on bowls of rice and spoon curry sauce over rice. You can either use curry sauce to lightly flavor rice or more as a soupy type mixture. I use short grain brown rice -- but any type is fine. Add cut chicken breast or other meat/tofu if desired.

THAI RED CURRY CHICKEN SOUP

• Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Add cooked chicken and rice. Stir over heat until warmed through. Add chopped cilantro right before serving.

THAI-INSPIRED COCONUT CURRY SOUP WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse and set aside.
• While the noodles cook, in a medium pot, warm the oil over medium heat. Add the sweet potato, ginger, garlic and red curry paste. Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture turns a shade darker and begins to stick to the bottom of the pot, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in the coconut milk, snow peas, 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until the snow peas are bright green and the sweet potato is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Cut the lime in half; squeeze one half into the curry and cut the other half into four wedges. Divide the noodles among bowls, top with the curry and herbs. Squeeze more lime juice over as desired.
