Expect to see a fair number of soups offered up here for the next good while. Those who know me understand how much I detest the cold months. They also know my weakness for mushrooms. What better way to warm up than with an earthy bowl of Thai inspired goodness.
Although I am most at home with Indian cooking and spicing, over the years I have become almost as fond of Thai dishes. It's generally a spicy cuisine, as Indian is, so it's really no wonder that I gravitate toward this rich heritage of cooking. The idea of this soup especially appealed to me because in addition to coconut milk and mushrooms, the soup showcased other vegetables and, to fill it out, plump red kidney beans.
I highly recommend making your own Thai red curry paste. Many store-bought varieties are not only inferior in taste but also not suitable for vegetarians as most seem to contain elements of fish. It's easy to make besides, and will keep in a well-sealed jar in the fridge for at least a month. Depending on the heat level of your paste, adjust the quantity used in the recipe to suit your palate. I recommend adding a smaller quantity at first, taste and add more as required.
This soup was served as part of a fusion meal, featuring my classic cornbread, fried coleslaw bites with jalapeño dip, and cocoa bites for dessert. The mingling of flavors was even better than I imagined.
