    Ingredients

    • Bell Peppers- The crunchy spicy bell peppers add mild sweetness to this soup. I have used red and yellow peppers. You may use any color that is locally available.
    • Sweet Potato- The humble sweet potato adds to the texture of this soup.
    • Onion- I have used red onion. White onions, shallots or spring onions would work as well.
    • Garlic- I love the aroma of sautéing garlic in desi ghee. You may chop it or grate it. Garlic powder works too but the fresh garlic adds perfect strong flavor.
    • Desi Ghee- I love desi ghee in soups and curries. You may use any vegetable oil and for making it vegan, use coconut or avocado oil.
    • Coconut Milk- Any good quality of coconut milk would be great for this recipe. The thicker it is, the creamier the soup is.
    • Paneer- Paneer chunks topped on this soup makes this soup thicker. For a Vegan Thai Soup, you may add Tofu Chunks.
    • Green Chilies- Chopped red and green chilies can add heat to this otherwise mild sweet soup. You may adjust the quantity of chilies as per your preference.
    • Coriander Leaves- Fresh coriander leaves add vibrant color. You may use parsley or basil leaves too.

    Variations

    • You may make a clear Thai vegetable soup by blending the vegetables.
    • Thai noodle vegetarian soup is a meal in itself. Add boiled, washed and sieved noodles to the warm soup just before serving.
    • Addition of more vegetables like mushroom, broccoli, baby corn or tofu can make this soup more enriching and flavourful.
    • A spicy Thai vegetable soup can be easily made by adding dried red chilly as a paste.
    • Make it vegan by skipping desi ghee and using any vegan oil and substituting paneer with Tofu cubes.

    What goes with this Thai Veg Soup?

    You may team this nourishing soup with plain rice, fried rice, noodles, or pasta.

    • Vegan Cashew Cream Pasta
    • Whole Wheat Focaccia Bread

    Health and Nutrition Facts

    If you are looking for a healthy snack or mid-day meal that keeps you full for longer and keeps all hunger pangs at bay, you may undoubtedly try this Veg Thai Soup.

    Bell peppers are bundle packs of Vitamin C, A and potassium, fibre, folate, and iron. Sweet potatoes are rich in fibre, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, iron, calcium and are considered to regulate sugar levels for Type-2 diabetes. If we cook it, the levels of Vitamin C are increased. Both bell peppers and sweet potatoes are your best friends if you wish to have a weight loss healthy meal.

    Expert Tips

    • I recommend not so over-cooked veggies in this Thai soup. They taste better when they are crisp and crunchy. Overcooking makes a mashed kind of soup which is very different from the authentic thai recipes.
    • Make sure to add paneer cubes towards the end or they may break as they are soft. You may use any soft cheese as a substitute too.
    • If you wish to make it spicy, try adding chilies in powdered form.

    Stories from Kitchen

    The morning and evening wind chills remind me of the wonderful soups that I had made last year. A friend named me 'Soup-Queen' owing to my passion for making soups. I was so much missing making soups since I started VegBuffet and I focused on various categories of food.

    This Thai Soup reminds me of my senior colleague, who always encouraged me to try different cuisines. I am a Paratha and Poori person which surprised her and she suggested trying Thai, Mexican, and all cuisines and why I am restricting myself. Who knows I find these better.

    If you are waiting for some new thing to try and any fear stops you, don't stop and figure out a way to move ahead. Follow your instincts and you will meet your goals!
