Curry Coconut Shrimp Soup
It’s no secret that Cooler Kitchen loves soup! It’s spring in New York City, and nothing beats a hot bowl of coconut curry soup with light, bright flavors to keep the manic weather swings in check.
This Allrecipes.com recipe was recommended to Brandon by an old friend, and there was very little that we had to do to tweak it for our own taste. We omitted the mushrooms and added a splash of hot chili sauce for an extra kick.
A big bottle of fish sauce was a major recent addition to our pantry. It gives everything it splashes sweet funk that we just love. Happy Spring!
