THAI VEGETABLE AND SHRIMP SOUP

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Is it currently the middle of summer with a heat index in the 90s? Yes. Does that stop me from craving this soup? Nope. It’s simple, healthy and super flavorful. There’s never not a good time to eat it.

Using the proper coconut milk is the key to this dish. Fat free coconut milk is absolutely out of the question. Full-fat, or lite coconut milk (so long as it includes guar gum), are the only varieties that will bring you the rich flavor you love. Otherwise, the broth will be watery and bland. I opt for a lite, unsweetened coconut milk myself.
