thai red curry soup

Fall is upon us. Heck, it even snowed here once! While I’m not ready for winter snowfall, I am enjoying fall. Apple picking, pumpkin carving, cozy scarves, and of course the number one reason to love fall, soups!

When I traveled to Thailand, I took a cooking class where I learned to make traditional Tom Yum soup, and coconut milk soup. They were totally delicious! (And yes, I ate them in 40 degree heat!) This Thai red curry soup is a more simple spin-off of those Thai classics. I whip up this soup last minute on a chilly night, to fight a cold, (it works wonders!) or to entertain guests.

This Thai red curry soup may look impressive, but you’ll be shocked by how simple it is to throw together!

  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 6 cups vegetable broth,
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)

  • 1 large handful cilantro, chopped
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 red chillies, chopped
