Creamy Thai red curry soup with jasmine rice, coconut milk, ginger, bell pepper, and fresh herbs.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 18 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 large red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 4 cups unsalted chicken stock
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can light coconut milk
  • 1 (8.8 ounce) pouch UNCLE BEN'S® READY RICE® Jasmine
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Instructions:
  • In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, warm up 1 tablespoon of delightful olive oil. Next, season the shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp in the pot for 2 to 3 minutes until they turn a lovely pink shade, making sure to flip them halfway through. Once done, set the shrimp aside for later use.
  • Add the rest of the olive oil along with the bell pepper, onion, and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender. Then, mix in the curry paste and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add the stock, coconut milk, and rice to the pot, making sure to scrape up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom.
  • Bring to a vigorous boil, then simmer while stirring occasionally until the mixture reduces, approximately 10 minutes. Add fish sauce and brown sugar, then take off the heat.
  • Puree the soup in the pot using an immersion blender or transfer it in batches to a food processor or blender, ensuring the opening is covered with a dish towel, and blend until smooth. Return the soup to the pot.
  • Gently mix in fresh green onions, fragrant cilantro, aromatic basil, and zesty lime juice. Ladle the soup into 6 bowls and garnish each with 3 plump shrimp. Serve promptly.
