Soups for Dinner



Where's Your World Market?  
Sometimes I go and stroll the groceries. Usually, I want something spicy, something ethnic, something full of satisfying flavor and purely vegetarian.  Yet, I must have low sodium, no msg, and full of potential.  And in comes the Tom Yam Spicy Paste. Yes, they carry non spicy Tom Kha, but I wanted a paste (not sauce) where I could play. I usually just get red or green curry paste in the jar from the grocery, but I was feeling adventurous. And it was delish!

Add the Veggies

  • Sliced red peppers
  • Sliced fresh mushrooms
  • Sliced onions
  • Green onions
  • Crispy tofu (perfect for the airfryer).  Be sure to press, then I toss and marinate and season
  • Dash of tumeric and black pepper. 
  • Add the water that is mentioned and you may wish to add a bit of milk for creaminess. (Leave it out for vegan). In this version, I did add about a 1/4 c of evaporated milk. 

Now if you need, add a few shrimps. I personally don't need it, but I did split open a fish oil pill and used the oil.  (Ok..I didn't have fish oil)

Another big hint.  If you are using any pre-made paste, I don't care if they suggest you add soy sauce, it doesn't need it. I didn't use any soy sauce and happy I didn't.  (Plus, I'm out of that too). I did add a dash of worchester sauce though.

Another suggestion, if you are a hearty eater, go ahead and add some rice noodles. It's a Thai dish, Everything goes better with rice noodles.

The Mister ate two full servings.

Happy Winter from the Heartland!
