Vegetarian Thai Coconut Soup

As I mentioned in a previous post we recently went on a Thai cooking evening in Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. It was really entertaining and I recommend it to anyone in the area. It is not at all overwhelming even for the beginner cook like J. If you fancy it then I recommend Siam Rice Thai Cookery School. With activities such as cooking, rock climbing at crazy horse and being an elephant owner for the day, Chiang Mai is not a holiday that we will forget quickly!

This recipe is corrupted version of the one we learnt on our course with more veggies and no meat or tofu. You could add 50g thinly sliced raw chicken or tofu if you like at the same time as veggies. I have recommended the use of salt or tamari as an alternative to fish sauce but if you can eat fish then use that instead. The tamari will darken your soup so salt or more stock powder is the answer if you are entertaining and want this to look nice.
