Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated

1 tablespoon red curry paste

4 cups vegetable broth

1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

1 medium carrot, thinly sliced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 medium zucchini, diced

1 cup fresh spinach leaves, tightly packed

1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)

Juice of 1 fresh lime

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Sliced jalapeños (optional, for an extra kick)

Instructions
 

Begin by heating the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil has melted and is shimmering, add the diced onion. Sauté for about 4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and soft.

    Next, add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger to the pot. Cook these aromatics for an additional minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning and allow the flavors to meld together.

      Incorporate the red curry paste into the pot, stirring well to evenly coat the sautéed onions. Let the mixture cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the curry paste to release its vibrant flavors.

        Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring to combine, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

          Add the sliced carrots and diced red bell pepper to the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and allow the soup to cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften and become tender.

            After the vegetables have softened, stir in the diced zucchini and pour in the creamy coconut milk. Mix well and let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to let all the flavors blend beautifully.

              To finish, add the fresh spinach leaves, soy sauce, and squeeze the juice of the lime into the pot. Stir gently for 1-2 minutes until the spinach has wilted down.

                Taste the soup and season with salt and black pepper according to your preference. Serve the soup hot, garnished with a generous sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top and, for those who like a bit of heat, sliced jalapeños can be added.
