How to Make Thai Green Curry Shrimp Soup

  1. In a large saucepan, simmer 1 pound of shrimp in 4 cups of water until cooked through and pink (about 1-2 minutes).

  3. Reserve 4 cups of the shrimp stock. Discard any remaining stock.
  4. Heat the reserved 4 cups of shrimp stock in a large saucepan or pot over medium-high heat.
  5. Add 4 tablespoons of green curry paste and stir until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  6. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms, 1 cup of sliced carrots, 1 cup of trimmed green beans, and 1 cup of shredded cabbage.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  8. Stir in 2 tablespoons of tamarind paste, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of fish sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Gently stir in the peeled shrimp.
  10. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat the shrimp through.
  11. Serve the soup hot over a mound of cooked jasmine rice (approximately 1 cup of cooked rice per serving).
