Cooking Instructions, Step by Step

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

We start by melting coconut oil in a big pot on medium heat. Stir in onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until fragrant (2 minutes). Add in the green curry paste, and cook for another minute to bloom the flavors.

Step 2: Prepare the Leek Broth

Add the vegetable broth, kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass. Bring to a gentle rolling boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to deepen the broth with rich Thai flavors.

Step 3: Add in the Vegetables and Tofu

Stir in mushrooms, zucchini, baby corn, red bell pepper and tofu. Mix well and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the veggies are soft but still colorful.

Step 4: Add in the Coconut Milk & Seasoning

Add the coconut milk, soy sauce, coconut sugar, and lime juice. Stir and allow it to simmer for 3-5 more minutes.

Discard the lemongrass stalks and kaffir lime leaves before serving. Add extra flavor by garnishing this dish with fresh basil, cilantro and green onions.

Top Tips for the Best Thai Green Curry Soup
