When I was growing up, my mom used to make a delicious creamy coconut curry soup that I just loved. She would make it on special occasions, like Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I remember how much I looked forward to it all year long. This soup was always a hit with the whole family and I’ve been wanting to recreate it ever since.
After a lot of experimenting, I finally came up with a soup that tastes just like my mom’s. It has a rich and creamy flavor from the coconut milk and is filled with fragrant spices like turmeric and cumin. I also love adding some freshly squeezed lime juice to bring out the flavors even more.
This soup is really easy to make and is perfect for busy nights when you don’t have a lot of time to cook. It’s also budget-friendly and can be made with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. I’m so excited to share this recipe with you so that you can enjoy it with your family too!
Tip: To make this soup even more flavorful, try roasting the onion, garlic, and ginger in the oven for 10 minutes before adding it to the pot.
Variations: You can also add diced carrots, bell peppers, or sweet potatoes to this soup for some extra nutrition. You can also switch out the chickpeas for another type of bean, or try adding some cooked chicken or shrimp for added protein.
