Approx. 200 calories per serving
- 1.5 liters (6 cups) vegetable stock
- 2 stalks lemongrass, trimmed and smashed
- 4 kaffir lime leaves, torn
- 3 slices galangal, sliced thinly
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium tomatoes, quartered
- 200g (7 oz) firm tofu, cubed
- 100g (3.5 oz) mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp vegan Thai red curry paste
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2-3 red bird’s eye chilies, sliced
- Salt to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
- Lime wedges for serving
- Begin by heating the vegetable stock in a large pot over medium heat. As the stock warms, gently add the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and garlic. Let them dance together in the simmering stock for about 10 minutes, allowing their rich aromas to fill your kitchen.
- Next, introduce the tomatoes, tofu, and mushrooms into the pot. Let them mingle and soften, simmering for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the tofu absorbs the fragrant broth.
- Gently stir in the soy sauce, lime juice, curry paste, and brown sugar. Adjust the salt and spice to your liking by adding or reducing the chilies. Let the flavors come together for another 5 minutes.
- Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if needed. Once satisfied, remove the pot from heat and let it rest for a moment, allowing the flavors to settle.
- Serve the soup hot, lovingly garnished with fresh cilantro and a lime wedge on the side. Let each bowl be a warm, inviting embrace of Thai tradition.
