Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons red or yellow curry paste (or curry powder)
- 8 ounces mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or button), sliced
- 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 handful fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger, and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the curry paste or curry powder and cook for 1 minute to release flavor. Add the sliced mushrooms (and carrots if using) and cook for 4–5 minutes until they soften and release juices.
- Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring well. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15–20 minutes.
- Stir in lime juice just before turning off the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
Notes
- Use coconut oil for a stronger tropical flavor.
- Mix different mushroom varieties for richer depth.
- Simmer longer if you prefer a thicker soup.
- Add fresh chilies for extra spice.
- Soup tastes better the next day as flavors deepen.
