Hot Thai Soup

So this is my favorite soup recipe! My dear friend and former co-worker made it for me, and it has been a true autumn favorite ever since.

Hot Thai soup

4-6 peeps

Ingredients:
3 large carrots
2 red peppers
1 whole broccoli
1 yellow onion
30 g fresh ginger (or more if you LOVE ginger like me)
2 stems of lemongrass
2 red chilis
4 cloves of garlic
1 tbl. sp. red curry paste
1 liter chicken stock
2 tins of coconut cream
2 dl dry white wine
2 tbl.sp tamari
3 tbl.sp. fish sauce
juice from 1 lime
some turmeric (or safran if you have)
coconut oil for frying
salt 

How to:
Clean the greens and cut into smaller pieces. Peel the ginger and grate it. Chop the lemongrass finely. 
Cut the chilies in half and remove the seeds, slice finely. 

Heat up the oil in a large soup-pot and add the finely chopped garlic, red currypaste, onion, carrots and ginger. Sauté until the onions are shiny and the carrots tender. Add the red peppers, broccoli, lemon grass  and chilis as well as the chicken stock. coconut cream, white wine, tamari, fish sauce and lime juice. Add a pinch of turmeric (or safran) for the beautiful color. Let it all simmer under the lid for around 25-30 min. 

After 30 min. blend the soup to a fine, creamy liquid. Let it all boil once more, taste with salt and serve. 
( I like to add some tiger prawns or noodles as an extra touch for when i'm extra hungry!)

Bon Appetit!
