A Soup for Cold Winter Nights

Winter is here and there is nothing that beats coming home after a long day and curling up with a warm bowl of homemade soup.

The whole recipe is pretty simple and easy – perfect for a busy weeknight! It’s mainly just blending the broth ingredients and then topping with noodles, bok choy, snap peas, lime juice, and a few peanuts.

For this recipe, I made my own curry paste. However,  if you want to cut down some steps you can also use store-bought green curry paste. Curry paste is usually found in the Asian section of most grocery stores.

You can make your own curry paste with a green bell pepper and spices, but this recipe also works well with store-bought curry paste.

The soup becomes a beautiful green when you blend the non-dairy milk with moringa powder. I also added extra cilantro power by blending it into the milk and garnishing a bit on top. You can also substitute in fresh basil if you prefer.

This recipe is simple and fast. The moringa powder gives this soup its beautiful green color.
