Notes

~ Chop all your veggies and aromatics before you begin cooking, so everything is ready when you need it.

~ Use a little of the coconut milk to sauté the red curry paste - the fat will help release the oils from the spices in the paste and make your finished dish more flavorful.

~ You can swap in most vegetables that you have in your fridge, but be sure to keep the total measurements the same.

~ Don't forget the garnishes! While I call them garnishes, they bring tons of flavor and the soup won't feel finished without them.

~ Add a few dashes of hot sauce if you like more heat.

~ Add a bit more coconut milk, an extra sprinkle of sugar or another squeeze of lime, if you want to tame down the heat.

~ Always taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking before serving.
