Description

Red curry paste puts the flavor and heat in this chicken broth-based soup with kale, shrimp, tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, and kidney beans.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped carrots
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
4 cups chopped kale (ribs removed)
1 teaspoon red curry paste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp
2 (8 ounce) cans chopped tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 lemon, juiced

Directions

1 Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir mushrooms, onion, carrots, and garlic in hot oil until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and add basil. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until basil seasons broth, about 10 minutes.
2 Stir kale, curry paste, salt, and pepper into broth; return to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until kale softens, about 10 minutes.
3 Stir in shrimp, tomatoes, kidney beans, and lemon juice. Simmer until shrimp is bright pink on the outside and no longer transparent in the center, about 10 minutes.
