So I have been on a thai food binge lately and testing out different recipes from my kitchen. The weather has been particularly chilly this past week and it was feeling much like soup weather. Between my thai food cravings and the cooler weather, I decided to take the opportunity during this fine winter break to attempt making some easy thai shrimp soup for the first time. Not only did this turn out absolutely scrumptious and amazing, but it was quite easy to create! I am all about simple and delicious, and to top it off… this meal can be made in just thirty minutes!

Don’t worry if you have sensitive taste buds because this soup wasn’t as spicy as I had anticipated, a very mild thai dish! I think that lime juice really offsets the spiciness in the soup and makes it much more enjoyable. I honestly expected this to be a soup that just the adults would be able to enjoy, but it tuned out to be mild enough that even my youngest (1 year old) was sipping on her own bowl. This recipe is also far healthier than if you were to get thai takeout. We also had plenty of leftover soup after everyone enjoyed a bowl or two! If you are looking for a simple dish and wanting to try something new, I highly recommend you give this recipe a try!

I know this particular recipes calls for shrimp, but there are plenty of substitutes if you would prefer tofu or something of that sort. Let me know in the comments below if you tried this recipe and what you thought!
