Green Currey Soup with choice of meat
« on: April 11, 2013, 01:36:05 PM »
I tasted this Green Curry soup and it was delish.  Here is the recipe:

Green Curry Paste
1 can Coconut Milk (some recipes call for 1/2 can - your choice - cuts down on carbs this way - just add additional water)
Your choice of meat
Basil
Bamboo & mushroom (instead of bamboo shoots which I think are high in sugar, I would probably replace with shallots, green onion, some ginger root - along at the end with a sprinkle of lime juice)
Thai egg plant
Fresh Thai chilli (blended)
some recipes call for 1/2 tspn of xanthum gun to thicken - your choice
Salt to taste

Stir green curry paste in hot oil (just tiny bit of oil) when it smells then put meat in.  Wait until the meat is almost cooked.


Add coconut milk and half a bowl of water (or more if you don't want thick broth) (One can of coconut milk I checked = 450 calories, 50 grams fat; saturated fat is 43g; 6 total carbs and zero fiber)

When it comes to a boil, add eggplant, bamboo and mushroom (add chilli pepper if you like)

Add salt to taste

Lastly, put basil in right before you turn off burner.  No need to cook all veggies for so long otherwise when you reheat the next time it will be too mushy.

This is a wonderful tasting meal.  Should probably get 4 servings.  In a similar receipt on the web this boiled down to per serving 8 grams of carbs; 3 dietary fiber - 5 total net carbs if you don't use the sugar.  Using my alternative suggestions.

Please remove the sugar ingredient from the recipe.  I forgot to take it out.  Thanks

I'm not sure what it means ---when it smells - I think just that - when the paste and hot oil start to cook/blend - it must have a fragrance about it, but I will ask her on Monday if this was a typo.  She still has an accent and her vocabulary is growing, so she may have just used the word 'smell' for fragrance.  Don't know.  I'll keep us all guessing until Monday when she returns to work.  Until then, you all have a pleasant weekend.  Here in SE Wisconsin it has been raining all week and it doesn't plan on stopping until sometime next week.  bummer!

That does sound tasty. Could you make your own green curry paste?
