Notes
- Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.Freeze for up to 2 months.
- Add more protein like cooked chicken, shrimp or tofu.
- Use any favorite neutral cooking oil like canola, sunflower oil or grapeseed oil.
- I like to use the ginger paste that is found in tubes in the produce section of most grocery stores. But you can use fresh grated ginger if you'd like.
- Use light coconut milk if you prefer.
- Fresh minced garlic is best, but use jarred minced or 2 teaspoons of garlic powder if that's what you have. You can add more or less garlic to your taste preference.
- Yellow curry powder is lighter and milder in flavor and spice than red curry powder. You can use any you'd like but it may be a little stronger curry flavored.
- Leave out the red pepper flakes or add more if you'd like it even spicier.
