How to Make Thai Shrimp And Rice Soup

  1. In a large stockpot, combine 8 cups chicken or vegetable stock, 4 cups water, 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the ginger is softened, about 15 minutes.
  3. Line a fine-mesh sieve with paper towels. Strain the soup through the sieve, discarding the solids.
  4. Return the strained soup to the stockpot.
  5. Add 1 cup long-grain rice. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, or until the rice is almost cooked through.
  6. Add 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined) and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until pink and opaque.
  7. Stir in 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, and 1 cup snow peas. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the snow peas are tender-crisp.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice.
  9. Garnish with lime wedges and extra fresh basil or cilantro before serving.
