• 1 TBS Sesame Oil

• 1 Med Bell Pepper (Red, Orange, Yellow is preferred)

• 1-2 Med Carrots Diced (sliced thin to thin/medium.)

• *(optional)1.5-2 Cups of Red Potatoes diced (If you choose to add potatoes, you can use purple, yellow, or white. The mini-medley potatoes work great here as well.)

• 1 Med Onion / chopped (I prefer Red onions. However, the traditional soup uses white onions.)

• 8-10 Ounces of Mushrooms

• *** You can add Chicken, Tofu, Shrimp (if you prefer to include a meat or protein option)

• * 1lb Chicken Breast cut into 1/2" Strips (boneless and skinless. You can sub for dark meat if preferred.)

• * 1 Block of Tofu (extra firm or firm, drained and diced into small cubes)

• * 16 Large Shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails removed, and rinsed)

• 2 TBS Thai Curry Paste (Red)

• 1 TBS Brown Coconut Sugar (you can use traditional brown sugar. )

• 1-1.5" of Fresh Ginger Root (depending on preference. I love ginger so I go the full 1.5-1.75")

• 1 TBS Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce (can use liquid or coconut aminos if you're soy-free)

• 1.5-2.0 TBS Coconut Aminos (you can use fish sauce here, as the traditional Thai soup calls for it.)

• 4 Cups of Broth Chicken or Veggie (whatever your preference is) *If you add a number of the "optional" items in, you may want to add an extra 1 cup. I will also add a little extra broth if I'm going to pour the soup over some leftover rice, quinoa, or noodles. I love to have extra broth. Especially in the fall/winter months.

• 3.5 TBS Lime Juice

• 1.5 Cups Un-Sweetend Canned Coconut Milk (My favorite brand is Native Forest NO GUAR. But I will use other Organic brands, especially if there is NO GUAR in it.)

• Non-sweet Hot Thai Chili Sauce or Sriracha (amount based on personal spice preference. Start at 1tsp and work towards your desired amount.)

• *optional Salt (just a pinch)

• Cilantro (this is to add as a garnish when serving, but it delivers a nice added flavor to the palate. Amount is based on personal preference)

• Lime Wedges (to garnish when serving)

Note: This recipe may result in a longer time from start to table if you've decided to add any 'optional' ingredients. This will depend on your prep time. Of course, if you choose to use mini potatoes, baby carrots, pre-cut chicken breast, etc., the additional time may not be by much. DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU. Make this your own.
