You want to make one of the bajillion recipes out of your Pinterest board, but you don’t have extra than 1/2 of the elements for any of them. using to the grocery keep is a distant dream at this point. I mean, absolutely. as if.

Input: the maximum lovely vegetarian/vegan coconut curry soup bowl that virtually best calls for  matters from you at it’s maximum simple degree: CURRY paste or powder of a few kind, and COCONUT MILK.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, smashed
• 1 knob of ginger, peeled and grated
• 1–2 tablespoons red curry paste
• 1–2 tablespoons turmeric
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 12 baby yukon potatoes
• 2 14-ounce cans coconut milk
• 3 cups vegetable broth
• 24 ounces extra firm tofu

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. PREP: start smushing the tofu in that nifty TOFU PRESS. It’s brilliant. (Or rig up a few sort of system to press the water out of the tofu at the same time as you put together the soup.)
2. SIMMER SOUP: heat the oil in a huge pot over medium heat. upload the onion, garlic, and ginger, and stir fry for a couple of minutes till aromatic. Don’t allow the garlic burn or brown. upload the curry paste, turmeric, salt, and sugar. Stir fry for some other short while. upload the potatoes, coconut milk, and broth. Simmer till the potatoes are smooth.
3. Mixture SOUP: allow to cool barely (i'm able to in no way wait very lengthy…) then transfer to a blender and puree until clean and silky. The soup have to be wealthy and thick in order that it coats the again of a spoon. upload in extra water or broth (I think i ended up including approximately 2-three cups) to thin out the soup as needed.
