Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Thai Vegetable Coconut Soup.
Step 1
To start your delicious soup, grab a large pot and melt some butter over medium-low heat.
Step 2
Once it’s nice and melted, toss in the quartered tomatoes, zucchini chunks, onion, chopped red bell pepper, and roughly chopped garlic.
Step 3
Stir in the vibrant chopped cilantro, fragrant basil, zesty lime juice, and a pinch of salt to bring all those flavors together.
Step 4
Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 25 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and mingle their tastes.
Step 5
When the veggies are tender, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until it’s beautifully smooth.
Step 6
Next, return to your pot and combine the creamy milk, luscious coconut butter, and a medley of spices: curry powder, ground turmeric, ground ginger, ground cumin, and a bay leaf.
Step 7
Cook this aromatic blend over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the coconut butter melts completely—this should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 8
Now, it’s time to bring everything together! Pour the pureed vegetable mixture back into the pot with the milk and spice concoction.
Step 9
Stir it well and let it heat through for about 5 minutes, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 10
When you’re ready to serve, ladle the soup into bowls and, if you like, add a drizzle of heavy cream on top for an extra touch of richness.
Step 11
Enjoy your warm, comforting bowl of soup, perfect for any occasion!.
