Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure the best results, use a large soup pot and a sharp knife for julienning the carrots. Sautéing the curry paste properly is crucial for a fragrant broth. Be mindful of allergens: this recipe contains soy, coconut, and gluten. Always check the wonton packaging as they may also contain egg or shellfish.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a vegetarian version, simply use vegetable broth and vegetarian wontons. You can easily adjust the spiciness by adding more or less red curry paste. For additional texture and variety, try adding sliced mushrooms or fresh bean sprouts to the simmer.

Recipe Questions & Answers

→ Can I use fresh wontons instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh wontons work beautifully. Reduce cooking time to 3-4 minutes as they cook faster than frozen ones.

→ What can I substitute for coconut milk?

Light coconut milk works for fewer calories, though full-fat provides richer flavor. For nut-free options, use additional broth with a splash of cream.

→ How spicy is this soup?

Moderately spicy with 2 tablespoons red curry paste. Start with 1 tablespoon for mild heat, or increase to 3 tablespoons for bolder spice levels.

→ Can I make this ahead of time?

Prepare the broth ahead and refrigerate up to 3 days. Add wontons and greens when reheating to prevent overcooking and maintain texture.

→ What other greens work well in this soup?

Bok choy, kale, Swiss chard, or napa cabbage all work wonderfully. Heartier greens may need an extra minute of cooking time.

→ How do I store leftovers?

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Wontons may soften upon reheating. Add fresh greens when reheating for best results.
