This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I used a green curry paste instead of a red curry paste and it turned out great. I also added some chopped pineapple for a bit of sweetness.

I'm not a fan of coconut milk, so I used a combination of chicken broth and coconut cream. It turned out great! The soup was creamy and flavorful without being too overpowering.
