You would definaly end up with a different kind of soup I think because it will be Indian instead of Asian. But garam masala and curry powder go great with coconut so I think you should give it a try. If you are worried about the lime juice just test it out by ladeling a small amount into a bowl and squeezing a bit of lime juice into it, see if you like it. If you do serve with lime wedges. I think you should go for it, it sounds like a great idea. Let me know how it goes.

I am thinking about making this soup. It sounds yummy! But I am wondering if I could add garam masala or curry powder and leave out the cilantro? Should I also leave out the lime juice? Or would those tweaks change the whole character of the soup?

I made this scrumptious soup today as we were stuck at home in the middle of a blizzard. I added a little Thai fish sauce and half chicken stock half water, as well as a large handful of fresh chopped cilantro. Also, I didn’t have fresh raw shrimp, so I used the cooked frozen version. Absolutely delicious!!!

I only used 3 because I didn’t want a lot of carrot. Use your judgement depending on how much carrot you want.

So is it 3 carrots? or 6-8 medium carrots?

Yeah fresh ginger will make all the difference in something like this. I am glad you enjoyed it!

I made this tonight, both I and Boyfriend loved it. Thanks! I did have trouble getting it hot enough for my liking at first though. I guess that’ll teach me (not) to use ginger powder instead of fresh.

Hi. I’m hoping to make this for some friends however one of them is a vegetarian. As the shrimp will be added last I thought I could separate at the end for the vegetarian. Can you, or anyone else, suggest a vegetarian substitute for the shrimp?
