Thai Coconut Shrimp Soup

I love Thai food because it is zesty, spicy and full of flavor.  This Thai Coconut Shrimp Soup combines the delicious flavor of coconut along with traditional Green Curry Paste for a a tasty seafood soup.

When I was at the grocery store last week I found these cute little Petite Shanghai cabbage, which are like miniature bok choi.  I decided they would be perfect for this soup, although you could substitute a different green, like spinach if your store doesn’t carry them. 

The Petite Shanghai cabbage is very tender, and go well with the coconut flavored broth. Leafy greens are an important part of a healthy diet and a flavorful soup like this one is a great way to include them for more reluctant eaters.

This soup is very quick to make, so it is a great weeknight meal! It has only a few ingredients and in less than 30 minutes you can have a hearty meatless soup on the dinner table.

  1. Shrimp is one of my favorite foods right now. I find it especially good paired with coconut milk in Thai dishes. While I’d never find Petite Shanghai Cabbage in my tiny, rural town, I love spinach and could absolutely live with that substitution!
