Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large shallot, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh turmeric, grated
2 tablespoons red curry paste
4 cups vegetable stock
1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut cream
2 tablespoons tamari sauce
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup snow peas
8 ounces rice vermicelli
2 cups baby kale
Juice of 1 lemon
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Chopped chives, for garnish
Instructions
In a sizable saucepan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and sauté until softened and translucent, around 4-5 minutes.
Incorporate the minced garlic and grated turmeric, cooking for an additional minute until aromatic.
Mix in the red curry paste and allow it to cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently to blend the flavors.
Gradually add the vegetable stock and coconut cream, then mix in the tamari sauce and maple syrup. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Toss in the yellow bell pepper and snow peas, allowing the soup to simmer for approximately 6 minutes until the veggies are vibrant and tender.
While the soup simmers, prepare the rice vermicelli according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
Once the vegetables reach the desired tenderness, fold in the cooked vermicelli and baby kale. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the kale is wilted and tender.
Take the pot off the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the soup hot, adorned with fresh basil leaves and chopped chives for a burst of flavor.
Notes
For a heartier meal, consider adding cooked chickpeas, shrimp, or grilled chicken.
Modify the heat level by varying the amount of red curry paste to suit your palate.
