This easy Thai coconut soup recipe is simply delicious! It’s creamy, bright, and bursting with flavor. I absolutely love how fresh it tastes with the ginger, roasted red bell peppers, snap peas, and other spices. You will love too! This soup is also vegan, Whole30, paleo, and keto.

My recipe here is a modified Tom Kha Gai soup (thai Chicken Soup) but without the chicken and uses easy to find ingredients. I dislike it when a recipe looks fantastic but I don’t have the ingredients necessary. With this coconut milk soup recipe, there’s no special trip to an Asian market. Lemongrass used to be hard to find in traditional grocery stores. But I’m seeing fresh lemongrass more and more. You can find jarred lemongrass paste in the produce section near the garlic paste or alongside  Asian and soy sauce.

Thai Soup Recipe

The original recipe for this soup comes from Chef Brandon Hall, ECOS Chef in Residence, in Cypress, California. During my last trip to Anaheim for National Products Expo West, I was invited to visit the ECOS Headquarters, take a tour of the plant,  and enjoy a Farm-to-Table lunch prepared by Chef Brandon.

Farm to Table Lunch

Lunch was fantastic! This Thai soup with coconut milk was one of my favorite parts of that meal. This isn’t a sponsored post, but I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to share it with you. ECOS, also known as Earth Friendly Products, creates green, plant-based cleaning products. I have been using their laundry soap and hand soaps for years because I like how effective they are. They are free of chemicals, dyes, and synthetics too. On the tour I learned about their commitment to transparency, being green, and being carbon-neutral. I’ll have to share more on the tour later because it was really interesting to see how everything was focused on great products while being mindful of the waste they produce.

Whole30, Paleo, Keto Coconut Soup

This coconut soup recipe uses  unsweetened coconut milk, a thick creamy liquid that comes from white inside meat of mature brown coconuts. This is not to be confused with coconut water which is the liquid from green immature coconuts. The version you want for this recipe comes in a can and is often found on the Asian food aisle.

The original recipe for this coconut milk soup called for a tablespoon of honey or organic sugar. I omitted it because I found that when I made it at home, I didn’t find it necessary. Plus without the added sugar, this Thai coconut soup becomes keto, paleo, and Whole30 friendly.

The original recipe also calls carrot tops for the Gremolata garnish. Most people throw carrot tops out, but they can be used just like parsley. I will often use them to make carrot top pesto. If you don’t have them, just substitute with fresh parsley.

I did add a touch of lime juice in the garnish. I found that a drizzle really make the flavors pop in this soup. Lime actually brings a lot of the flavor out in many Thai dishes.
