Why you will LOVE This Recipe
Every year, when fall weather rolls in, I’m all about everything cozy and warm! Pumpkin everything ALWAYS does the trick for me, but another one of my go-to recipes has to be anything CURRY. Pumpkin curry is a winner in our house, as is whole30 coconut paleo chicken curry and today’s coconut curry soup recipe is now right up there as a new favorite! It’s flavorful, full of healthy ingredients and has all that curry warmth and goodness you are looking for- perfect to warm you up on a cool fall day!
Does Coconut Curry Soup taste like Coconut?
One of my favorite ways to incorporate healthy fats into my daily diet and meal plan is with coconut milk! Full fat coconut milk, as used in this thai coconut curry soup, is rich and creamy and FULL of healthy fats that your body can use! It’s got a mild coconut taste but not so much that it overpowers the soup. It more so adds richness to the finished product and makes it thicker and creamier, with a mild note of coconut as well.

Recipe Variations
If you love the sound of this coconut milk curry soup but want to mix things up a bit, go for it! If you have green chili paste instead of red, go ahead and throw it in. If you want to leave out the chicken, you totally can, or throw in some tofu to make it vegan friendly! Also, you don’t need to stick to the veggies I suggested for this recipe- feel free to cook with any veggies you have on hand- a few ideas are bok choy, carrots and mushrooms!
