carrots, chicken broth, coconut milk, garlic, ginger, onion, red curry paste
Here we go again with Red Curry Paste. I simply love how it’s flavor influences dishes. It’s not spicy hot, just full of wonderful fragrant ingredients. Today I was consumed by a craving for Thai Red Curry Carrot Soup. It began early this morning and by the time noon rolled around my mind was made up. Home I went and within 30 minutes we were enjoying this heavenly soup….it is that easy to make and oh so good.
