Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 3 tablespoons green curry paste
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk, 13.5 ounces
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced into half moons
- 1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed
- 2 cups baby spinach, loosely packed
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, torn
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 3 cups cooked jasmine rice, optional for serving
Instructions
- Place a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add avocado oil, then stir in green curry paste. Cook for 1 minute, stirring often, until fragrant.
- Add onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook for 3 minutes, until softened.
- Pour in vegetable broth and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot.
- Add coconut milk and stir until the broth looks creamy and pale green.
- Add zucchini, sugar snap peas, soy sauce, maple syrup, and salt. Stir gently.
- Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until the zucchini is tender but still holds its shape.
- Stir in baby spinach and cook for 1 minute, just until wilted.
- Turn off the heat, then stir in lime juice, cilantro, and basil.
- Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed. Serve warm as is or over cooked jasmine rice.
Notes
- Keep the broth at a gentle simmer so the coconut milk stays smooth.
- Add fresh herbs at the end for the brightest flavor.
- Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten free version.
- Start with less curry paste if your brand is very spicy.
