Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 green chile, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 2 teaspoons Oaktown Spice Shop Thai Curry Powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cups frozen sweet peas
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (14-ounce) can full fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro
  • ½ cup thai basil
  • Juice of 1 lime, plus more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon fish sauce (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

blank

  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 green chile,  sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, sliced 
  • 1 tablespoon Oaktown Spice Shop Thai Curry Powder
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce, or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon coconut sugar (see note)

  • ½ teaspoon fish sauce (optional)

Directions

  1. Melt the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the shallot, garlic, green chile, and celery, cooking for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the shallots begin to soften.

  2. Add the Oaktown Spice Shop Thai Curry Powder and salt, mixing to evenly distribute.
  3. Add the peas and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, and reduce to simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat, and add the coconut milk, cilantro, thai basil, lime juice, and fish sauce, if using. Transfer to a blender until smooth, or use a handheld blender and blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and more lime juice, to taste.
  5. While the soup is simmering, make the Thai Curry Oil. Heat the oil over medium heat until small bubbles appear along the edges. Meanwhile, combine the Oaktown Spice Shop Thai Curry Powder, soy sauce, coconut sugar, and fish sauce in a heat-safe bowl.
  6. Remove the hot oil from heat. Add the sliced chiles and garlic and let sit for 10 minutes, or until the garlic slices are brown. Pour over the spice and soy sauce mixture, stirring to combine.
  7. Serve the soup with a drizzle of the curry oil. Enjoy!

    Hi Pam,

    Thank you for your comment! I think Cauliflower would make a delicious substitution in this recipe, and help produce a very creamy texture in the end result.

    Hi Janice,

    Thanks for your question! I would lean towards a Jalapeño or Serrano, but Poblano and Thai Chile can also work if you want a milder or spicier result.

    Warmly,

    Can you specify a couple of chile options? Serrano, poblano, Thai, etc…..

    I wonder if you could substitute cauliflower for the peas.
