Yield 8-10 servings
Think of this as that favorite soup at your local Thai joint, only made at home in 15 minutes without all of the schlepping to-and-from the restaurant. It's light, bright, lime-y and filled with creamy coconut milk.
The shiitakes offer a nice "meaty" bite, too, which makes this the perfect plant-based soup!
Ingredients
1 yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp coconut oil
2 cans coconut milk
2 cups water
3 limes, juiced
2 Tbsp green curry paste
1 tsp soy sauce
1 pkg fresh shiitakes, sliced thinly, stems removed and reserved for stock if desired
1 lime leaf *optional
Instructions
- Sauté onion and garlic in coconut oil until softened, 5 minutes.
- Add coconut milk, water, lime juice, and green curry paste.
- Mix to combine, then add soy sauce, shiitakes and lime leaf (if using).
- Cook on low heat until shiitakes are softened, about 10 minutes.
- Taste, adjust seasonings and serve hot.
Notes
Add chicken, shrimp, beef or fish if you like for an added protein boost!
