Thai Fish Coconut Soup is made with succulent boneless fish pieces and fresh vegetables in a creamy and rich coconut curry broth. Lemongrass, cilantro roots and stems, galangal and ginger not only contribute to the overall flavor of the soup — they are also largely responsible for its tantalizing aroma. This hearty Thai fish coconut soup has so much flavor that is hard to believe it’s a healthy soup and is a delicious one pot meal.

Heat oil in a large non-stick pan. Add garlic + ginger + lemongrass and sliced onion to the pan and stir for 1-2 mins on low med flame. Stir in regular intervals

Next add the Thai red curry to the pan and stir for 1-2 mins on low med flame. Add chicken stock + fish sauce + brown sugar + mushrooms + lime juice + green onions + scallions to the pan. Stir to mix well

Add the seasoned fish pieces to the pan and mix gently. Cover with lid and let it simmer for 7-8 mins on low medium flame until thickens. Stir in regular intervals
