In this video, you’ll see how to make a spicy red curry soup. It’s inspired by the hot-and-sour soup that's so popular in Thai restaurants. Easy to ma... See moreke, it combines chunks of chicken thighs with red curry, coconut milk, lemon grass, and ginger. You’ll see how to prepare the lemon grass, a key ingredient that gives the soup its unique flavor. Simmer chicken stock with lemongrass, ginger, and garlic, and then strain out the tough lemongrass before you add the other flavorful ingredients, like red curry paste, fish sauce, and lime juice, another critical ingredient that provides the sour counterpart to the heat. Serve it with sliced jalapenos, fresh cilantro, and an extra squeeze of lime. Find top-rated Thai soup recipes.

Mar 26, 2013 10:34 AMI have lived in Thailand for many years, and now I return every year to teach psychology and cooking. Thai curries come in white, red, yellow and green depending which part of the country the cook is from, although there is a wide choice of red curries. If you expect them to be like Indian curry, forget it, but suggest not using jalapeno peppers but the Thai peppers. The two most commonly used are the small Bird's Eye pepper (not it's real name which I am not allowed to write here) and the slightly larger Dragon Tooth pepper. Second, I have never heard a Thai refer to any of their curries as gravy. Most Thai street vendor and restaurant cooks still make their own blends - great stuff with jasmine rice and side dishes. thanks all. 'nuf sed. plamuk aka travellingchef.

Feb 17, 2013 3:57 PMI have used this red curry paste many times and it is definitely not spicy. I think the reason the ones from the restaurant is so spicy is they actually make their curry powder and it includes plenty of powdered red chilis maybe? I know the same applies when i make green curry using the green cury paste from the same company. However when I order it at a Thai restaurant I ask them to make it a 1 on the hotness scale and its still really spicy. Was told its due to the green curry they put in. Remember there is no spice called "curry" per se, its made from several spices and it can be hotter or more milder based on how much of certain spices are used. My friend told me that in Thailand they just call it gravy and not curry.

Dec 18, 2012 1:49 PMAbsolutely love this dish! Made it probably 15x's and it gets better everytime I make it. I like it spicy so I usually add a large squirt of sirachi chilli sauce into my bowl of soup. I add brown rice and have it for dinner! I would suggest cutting and prepping all igredients BEFORE you start to simmer the chicken broth. Also, he mentions the juice of 2 limes in the video and only 1 on the ingredient list...I've always made it with 2 and I think it's gives it amazing flavor!
