There’s a local grocery store near me that has an extensive take-out selection. On the day I tried their Thai Red Curry Soup I was on a mission to recreate it. Sadly, this isn’t it (I think theirs used shrimp too). But, my husband thought this was off-the-charts and gave me a speech about how much he appreciates my cooking, so I’d say it’s good enough in its own right!
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp Olive oil

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp ginger, minced
