Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste

4 cups coconut milk (full-fat for richness)

2 cups vegetable broth

1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 red bell pepper, sliced thinly

1 cup baby spinach

1 cup diced tofu (firm, for protein)

1 cup mushrooms (shiitake or button), sliced

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Optional: sliced chili or chili flakes for extra spice

Instructions
 

Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Once the oil is heated, add the chopped onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3–4 minutes.

    Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

      Incorporate Curry Paste: Add the Thai red curry paste to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom.

        Combine Liquids: Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Stir well to mix everything together. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

          Flavor it Up: Add the soy sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Taste and adjust the seasoning according to preference -- you may want to add a little more lime juice or sugar.

            Add Vegetables and Tofu: Once the soup is simmering, add the sliced red bell pepper, diced tofu, and mushrooms. Allow to cook for another 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.

              Finish with Spinach: Stir in the baby spinach and cook for another 1–2 minutes just until wilted.

                Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side. If desired, sprinkle with sliced chili or chili flakes for extra heat.
