EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

Like it spicy? Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon additional curry paste.

Coconut milk and curry paste are both available at many supermarkets in the Asian foods aisle, or look for these specialty products at Asian markets.

If you don't have cornstarch, you can use 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour instead. Increase the amount of cold water to 1/4 cup.

As written this recipe only gets 3 forks. I followed everything with the exception of the spinach since I didn't have that on hand and I thought it was very bland. I ended up adding additional red curry paste, garlic powder and red pepper flakes. With my adjustments the soup was fantastic. My advice is to taste the soup as you go so you know how to adjust to your liking.

Very good. Did not have the right kind of curry at the grocery store, so bought medium green curry, used almost half. was a little thick, served over rice instead of as a soup. Thought it was very good. Will make again. Could use more garlic.
