Thai Curry Coconut Mussel Soup

If you follow along here you know we are big into soups!! So for this #SundaySupper I jumped right in with this Thai Curry Coconut Mussel Soup!!

I have made a lot of soups of late so wanted to stray away to something different. Usually, Thai cooking can be very exhausting with its endless list of ingredients.

Usually, it is just small bits of this or that but the list is long!!

I wanted to try and avoid that with this soup. Make it easy but still full of flavor. I used my own pickled garlic that I get at the farmers market that I pickle with the small Thai red peppers, so I didn’t need as much heat from the curry paste but you can adjust that to your liking. Enjoy!!

    Curry and coconut milk, throw anything inside and you´ve got a great meal. That´s how my curries usually go. This is the most sophisticated soup version, yet very rustic, I just love it! Wonderful Tara!
