Thai Red Curry Vegetable Soup

This is one of my favorite soups because 1) it’s ready in 30 minutes, 2) it’s extremely easy, and 3) it’s downright delicious. What more do you need?

It’s rare to find a soup that doesn’t take long for the flavors to develop, but somehow, this one does the trick.

One of my favorite dishes to get at any Thai restaurant is Tom Kha soup, which is a rich, creamy coconut milk based soup with mushrooms, lemongrass, cilantro and chiles. This soup is reminiscent of that flavor, even though it doesn’t use those fresh ingredients like kaffir lime and galangal (though you can certainly substitute or add these ingredients if you want to!). However, using pre-made red curry sauce like Chef’s Choice Red Curry Paste is a convenient way to get these authentic flavors without having to do all the work to make curry from scratch, because it’s made out of lemongrass, red chili, garlic, kaffir lime, galangal, onion, spices and salt.

I love serving this with Asian Baked Garlic Tofu for protein, either on the side or tossed straight into the soup. I also like having Asian Chili Garlic Sauce on the side (available in most Asian sections at local grocery stores), and sometimes fresh bean sprouts on top for some crunch.

If you like cold soups on a hot day, you can serve the leftovers straight out of the fridge for lunch the next day, top the bowl with bean sprouts and hemp seeds and you have yourself a super quick and yummy lunch. What’s better than easy leftovers?
