Thai-Style Coconut Shrimp Soup

Shrimp only need a couple of minutes, so they go in at the very end — simmered too long, they turn tough and rubbery.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • fresh cilantro and sliced chili for garnish

Method

  1. 1

    Melt coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion 4-5 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Add ginger, cooking 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Pour in broth and coconut milk, bring to a gentle simmer for 8-10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

  4. 4

    Add shrimp and fish sauce, simmering just 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink — added any earlier, they'd overcook and turn tough by the time the soup is ready.

  5. 5

    Stir in lime juice and garnish with cilantro and chili before serving.
