Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, grated

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

2 cups vegetable broth

1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

2 tablespoons red curry paste

1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon sugar (coconut sugar recommended)

1 cup cooked chicken or tofu, shredded (optional)

1 cup fresh spinach or bok choy

1 lime, cut into wedges (for serving)

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Sliced red chili, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large saucepan or pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

    Add Vegetables: Add the sliced red bell pepper and mushrooms to the pot. Sauté for another 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

      Mix the Base: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and stir in the coconut milk, red curry paste, soy sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Mix until well combined.

        Incorporate Proteins: If using, add the shredded chicken or tofu to the soup and stir gently. Let it simmer for about 8-10 minutes on low heat.

          Add Greens: Just before serving, stir in the fresh spinach (or bok choy) and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the greens are wilted and tender.

            Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls, and serve with lime wedges on the side. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced red chili, if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy your creamy, fragrant Thai coconut soup!
