This low-carb vegetable soup is chock-full of veggies swimming in a creamy coconut broth flavored with Thai red curry paste. It's hearty enough to eat on its own, but feel free to add chicken or tofu to boost the protein.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 (5 ounce) package sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms
½ cup chopped scallions, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste, plus more to taste
1 ½ tablespoons grated fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups reduced-sodium vegetable broth
3 cups cauliflower florets (3/4-inch)
1 large zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons
1 cup frozen cut green beans
1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk, well shaken
2 cups baby spinach
3 tablespoons lime juice
Torn fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Sriracha for serving

Directions

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring often, until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add scallions, curry paste, ginger and garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in broth; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add cauliflower to the pot; return to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, undisturbed, for 5 minutes. Add zucchini and green beans; return to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer, undisturbed, until all the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in coconut milk, spinach, and, if desired, additional curry paste. Stir the mixture until the spinach wilts, about 1 minute.
Stir lime juice into the soup. Garnish with cilantro and additional scallions and serve with Sriracha, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
