Best Ever ‘Thai Coconut Soup’

This is my all-time favorite Curry Coconut Soup recipe. It has the sweetness of coconut milk, the tanginess of lime juice, and the spice and heat from red curry. The broth is very easy to make and you can add shrimp, chicken, or veggies. This one, and Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup, are my all-time favorite soups!

WHAT TO SERVE WITH THAI COCONUT SOUP?

If you feel the need to serve something extra, I would definitely go with another Thai dish like Massaman Curry or maybe a Beef Stir Fry. If you want to make this soup your main dish, add rice noodles to it and make it heartier. For dessert, I like serving something lemony like Lemon Custard Pudding Cake or Lemon Brownies.

CAN YOU FREEZE THAI COCONUT SOUP?

Soups that contain dairy or non-dairy milk don’t do very well when frozen. They tend to separate and they will never regain their texture once reheated. You can if you want to, freeze the soup base without the coconut milk and add it when reheating. Mushrooms don’t do very well when frozen either.

So I really wouldn’t recommend freezing this soup.

HOW LONG DOES THAI COCONUT SOUP LAST?

In the fridge, Thai coconut soup will last up to 4 days.
