This Whip-It-Up-Wednesday, check out the simple and delicious Thai Coconut Shrimp Soup recipe from Shiela’s kitchen:
“I love Thai food! It is one of my favorite cuisines to cook. What I love about Thai cuisine is that it’s easy to make because of the ready-made pastes. One of my favorite pastes is Thai Tom Yum paste. It’s versatile because I can make all sorts of soups with various ingredients. There is even a vegetarian version for people who are allergic to shrimp. Another reason why I love this soup, it is quick and easy to make. Feel free to substitute tofu for a vegetarian option.”
