\nMAKES 8-10 SERVINGS<\/p>\n

*For this recipe, we used a mixture of broccoli, snap peas, Romanesco broccoli, Brussels sprouts, green beans, green onions, asparagus, and bok choy. Before adding the green onions and asparagus, we saut\u00e9ed them in about 1 teaspoon of coconut oil, and then added them right before serving, along with the bok choy.<\/p>\n

CURRY SOUP BASE
\n4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 14 oz cans coconut milk
\n1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 cup chicken stock
\n4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ozs Thai Kitchen brand curry paste
\n2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 T ginger root, peeled, and grated
\n1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 t salt
\n\u00bd\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 t dried red pepper flakes
\n\u00bc\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 cup cornstarch

\n\u00bd\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 lemon
\n1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 lime<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/p>\n

1. In a large stockpot, combine coconut milk, chicken stock, curry paste, ginger root, salt, and dried red pepper flakes.
\n2. Bring mixture to a boil. In a small bowl mix the cornstarch and cold water together, and slowly add to the boiling soup base while whisking.
\n3. Let soup base continue to boil to thicken. Add prepared vegetables, and cook for an additional 7 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp.<\/p>\n

Grab some Thai Kitchen Organic Coconut Milk, or any other kind you fancy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Get your list of ingredients together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Brussel Sprouts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Snap peas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Green beans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Romanesco broccoli …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

… and Bok choy, to name a few of the more foreign contenders.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Start by chopping up the traditional variety of broccoli.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then quarter your brussel sprouts …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

… and let them mingle with the broccoli.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Slice the tips off of your snap peas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Don’t they just look pretty?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then slice them into thirds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Create a pretty little heart shape with your hands *optional\u00a0and drop them into the bowl with their friends.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Slice up your green beans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then separate the leafy greens of the bok coy from the white portion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And slice em’ on up.<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Chop up the Romanesco broccoli. Don’t they look just like little hills of Christmas trees?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tis’ the season!<\/p>\n

\"\"After you have sliced up the broccoli, snap peas, Romanesco broccoli, Brussels sprouts, green beans, and bok choy, saut\u00e9 them in about 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. These may be added right before serving.<\/p>\n

Then go ahead and give that green onion a quick slice up. No need to cut them very small.<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Push against the asparagus to find the natural snapping point. The portion you want to keep is the half that includes the top.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Slice the rest based on the length of your tester.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Proceed with slicing asparagus into one inch bits.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Grab your favorite organic brand of coconut milk and open her up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In a large stockpot, combine four 14 oz cans of coconut milk.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1\u00a0 cup chicken stock.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n2 T ginger root, peeled, and grated.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Squeeze in the juice of one fresh lime.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then half a lemon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0Then 4 ozs Thai Kitchen brand curry paste, 1 t salt
\nand \u00bd t dried red pepper flakes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bring mixture to a boil. In a small bowl mix\u00a0\u00bc cup
\ncornstarch and 2 T cold water\u00a0together, and slowly add to the boiling soup base while whisking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let soup base continue to boil to thicken. Add prepared vegetables, and cook for an additional 7 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Saut\u00e8 your asparagus and green onions while the rest is cooking.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Then add to the soup.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Serve with a side of jasmine rice and jalape\u00f1os.<\/p>\n
