- 2 cups Fresh Vegetables (bell peppers, bok choy, etc.), chopped
Garnishes
- 2 tbsp Lime Juice
- ¼ cup Cilantro, chopped
- ¼ cup Green Onions, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Gather and chop the fresh vegetables into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and easy eating.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, building the flavor base for the soup.
- Add Curry Paste: Stir in the Thai red curry paste and cook briefly to release its aromatic flavors, ensuring it coats the aromatics well.

- Finish and Garnish: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the soup to add brightness. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions for fresh herbaceous notes and color.
