Red Curry Coconut Soup with Shrimp
  1. 1

    Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the pot and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, turning halfway, until pink. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Add the remaining olive oil, bell pepper, onion, and garlic to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, until tender. Stir in the curry paste and ginger. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Stir in the stock, coconut milk, and rice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

  4. 4

    Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced, about 10 minutes. Stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar. Remove from the heat.

  5. 5

    Use an immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot. Or carefully transfer the soup in batches to a large food processor or blender, cover the opening with a dish towel, and blend until pureed. Return the soup to the pot.

  6. 6

    Stir in the green onions, cilantro, basil, and lime juice. Divide the soup evenly among 6 bowls and top each bowl with 3 shrimp. Serve immediately.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
