Notes
1
Lemongrass – You can also use 1 tablespoon of lemongrass paste as needed.
2
Coconut milk – I like full fat coconut milk in this recipe, but you can also use lite coconut milk.
Storage
1
In the fridge. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Simply reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
2
To freeze. Allow the soup to cool completely before placing it into airtight, freezer-friendly bags or containers. Place in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply allow the soup to thaw in the refrigerator before re-heating on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Press Your Tofu Properly 🧊Wrap extra-firm tofu in paper towels and weight it down for 15-20 minutes before cubing to remove excess moisture, allowing better absorption of the soup's aromatic flavors.
- Bloom Your Curry Paste in Oil 🌶️Toast the red curry paste in coconut oil for 1-2 minutes before adding broth to deepen its flavors and eliminate any raw paste taste for a more complex soup.
- Infuse Lemongrass Strategically 🍋Bruise lemongrass stalks with the side of your knife and add them whole during simmering, then remove before serving—this prevents fibrous pieces while maximizing aromatic infusion.
- Balance Lime Juice at the End ⏰Always add fresh lime juice in the final minute of cooking and taste as you go; this preserves its bright acidity and prevents it from being cooked off or becoming bitter.
- Sear Mushrooms Separately for Better Texture 🍄Quickly pan-sear shiitake mushrooms in a separate skillet before adding to the soup to develop a golden exterior and prevent them from becoming mushy in the broth.
