Thai Vegetable Coconut Soup

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Thai Vegetable Coconut Soup.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious soup, grab a large pot and melt some butter over medium-low heat.

2. Step 2

   Once it’s nice and melted, toss in the quartered tomatoes, zucchini chunks, onion, chopped red bell pepper, and roughly chopped garlic.

3. Step 3

   Stir in the vibrant chopped cilantro, fragrant basil, zesty lime juice, and a pinch of salt to bring all those flavors together.

4. Step 4

   Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 25 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and mingle their tastes.

5. Step 5

   When the veggies are tender, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until it’s beautifully smooth.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.
