Ingredients
Method
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, and stir-fry for a few minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the red curry paste, turmeric, salt, and sugar. Continue to stir-fry for another few minutes, allowing the spices to bloom.
- Add the baby Yukon potatoes and coconut milk to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Allow the soup to cool slightly, then carefully transfer it to a blender. Puree until the soup is smooth and silky, thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest, most luxurious texture in your coconut curry soup. Light coconut milk will result in a thinner soup.
- For a deeper flavor, toast the curry paste and turmeric in the oil for a minute before adding liquids. This helps release their aromatic compounds.
- Storage: Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It also freezes well for up to 2 months; thaw overnight and reheat gently on the stove.
- Don't skip pressing the tofu! This crucial step ensures the tofu becomes wonderfully crispy when fried, absorbing the soup's flavors without becoming soggy. If the tofu isn't firm enough after pressing, it will break apart during frying. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically.
