  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh ingredients, use frozen or dried ingredients instead.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Add the right amount of spice: Thai coconut soup can be spicy, but it shouldn't be overpowering. Start with a small amount of spice and add more to taste.
  • Serve with rice or noodles: Thai coconut soup is traditionally served with rice or noodles. This will help to soak up the flavorful broth.
