I enjoy Thai food! It has its own unique style and sets itself from apart from other cuisine. It often uses light ingredients and incorporates many layers of aromatic flavors in its dishes. The results are a nice well-balanced ⚖ combination of spices and other ingredients wrapped together exquisitely!
I have a few recipes that I’ve already shared like Pad Thai Noodles, Yellow Curry Paste, an inspiredpesto recipe, Red Curry Shrimp, Sweet Chili Chicken Bites, Thai Chicken Curry, etc. and more to come like Thai Glass Noodle Salad with Shrimp (Yam Woon Sen), Drunken Noodles, Thai Larb Salad 🥗, and Fish Curry.
Another one that David and I really like is my Thai Coconut Shrimp Soup! During cold weather, this comforting soup 🥣 fits perfectly! With delicious ingredients and seasonings, this is a great recipe to make for the fall and winter.
When going to Thai restaurants, I ordered Tom Yum which is a spicy soup made with a clear broth and shrimp 🍤 although other proteins can be used. Another one that I liked having was Tom Kha Gai. This one is made with coconut milk and chicken. This is when I decided to take some ingredients from these two to make this recipe…
This is the best of both soups by integrating a few ingredients from each. There are lemongrass stalks, onions, oyster mushrooms 🍄, garlic, ginger, shrimp, etc. I use coconut milk with chicken broth and the combination is fantastic! Without overstressing it, this Thai Coconut Shrimp Soup is loaded with flavor!
There are also some bird’s eye chilies 🌶 and I know they’re not for everyone. These little guys are pretty hot but if they’re omitted or by adding a tiny pinch of red pepper flakes, the soup will still be fabulous. Traditionally, galangal is the right ingredient to use but so hard to find therefore substitute ginger.
To balance the dish, I like adding coconut sugar 🥥. As a foody, I have a lot of ingredients in my pantry that most people don’t have. Don’t worry about it and use brown sugar or palm sugar instead. Overall, it won’t make a big impact on the taste.
Let’s talk about an ingredient that is surely unpleasant to the nose… fish sauce! I realize it’s smelly but the last time I checked, fish 🐟 doesn’t smell like roses 🌹 plus it’s fermented. In Thai cuisine, this condiment is used widely. This basic ingredient is a must have and really adds flavor to the soup.
From start to finish, it takes less than 30 minutes and you have a delicious comforting soup to enjoy! This colorful Thai Coconut Shrimp Soup is loaded with yumminess and healthy 💚 as well! If you enjoy Thai cuisine, you’ll love this recipe…
