Cozy Thai-Inspired Coconut Soup (Vegan & Slurp-Worthy)

 


Cozy Thai-Inspired Coconut Soup (Vegan & Slurp-Worthy)

Total Time: 30 mins | Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 20 mins | Serves: 4

Hey mamas,
This one’s for those chilly nights when you just need something warm, comforting, and loaded with flavor—but without pulling out 37 ingredients. My kids call this the “yummy noodle soup” (even though it's secretly packed with veggies and tofu). Bonus: it only uses one pot—less cleanup = happy mom.

🛒 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Sauté Your Base
    In a large pot, heat the coconut oil. Sauté onion, garlic, and ginger for about 3–4 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Flavor Bomb
    Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1 minute more. Your kitchen will already smell like heaven.
  3. Build the Broth
    Pour in the coconut milk and veggie broth. Stir, then bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add Veggies & Tofu
    Toss in mushrooms, bell pepper, and tofu cubes. Let simmer for 10–12 minutes.
  5. Finish with Lime
    Add fresh lime juice and taste for seasoning. Top with cilantro and a sprinkle of chili flakes if you're feeling bold.

🧠 Mom Tips

  • 🍜 Kid Swap: Sub tofu for rice noodles if your littles are noodle-lovers.
  • 🌱 Shortcut: Use frozen stir-fry veggies if you’re in super-mom-on-autopilot mode.
  • 🥡 Leftover Friendly: Great for lunches the next day—just add a splash of water when reheating.

💛 Why I Love It

It’s creamy, filling, and makes me feel like I just ordered takeout from my favorite Thai spot—without leaving the kitchen or spending $50. Win!
