This delicious soup is incredibly addictive. For three servings, pour the soup over cooked white or brown rice. I've included some additional vegetable options in the notes, but think this soup would also be great with cauliflower, eggplant, or baby corn.

Recipe type: Soup
Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon coconut, peanut, or olive oil
  • 1 cup thinly sliced leek (about 1 medium – whites and lower green, tough leaves removed) or thinly sliced yellow onion (about ½ medium)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ teaspoon finely minced ginger
  • 8 ounces lean or extra-lean ground turkey (can substitute chicken or tofu)
  • 1 8-ounce can plain tomato sauce (like Hunt’s or generic)
  • ½ tablespoon red curry paste
  • 1 cup light coconut milk or unsweetened coconut milk beverage
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • ½ tablespoon lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon lime zest
Instructions
  1. Heat the coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Add the leek or onion and sauté for 3 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1 minute more.
  4. Turn the heat up to medium, and add the turkey. Cook, breaking it up as you stir, until cooked through, about 7 minutes.
  5. Stir in tomato sauce and curry paste, and allow the flavors to meld for about 2 minutes.
  6. Add the coconut milk, sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, and zest and stir to combine. Let the soup simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken a bit.
Notes
Spinach Option: Add 2 cups of baby spinach leaves near the very end of simmering.

Cabbage Option: Add 1½ cups thinly sliced cabbage with the onions.

Leftover Chicken Option: To shorten the cook time and use up leftovers, substitute 2 cups leftover cooked chopped chicken for the turkey.
