How to Prepare Thai Coconut Soup [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Bring the vegetable broth to a boil over medium heat in a large pot.
- Add the kaffir lime leaves, chiles, garlic, galangal, and lemongrass.
- Lower the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and gently simmer it to let the ingredients infuse the broth. This should take about 10 minutes.
- While the soup is simmering, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a separate pan. Add the tofu and stir-fry until they turn a light golden brown. If desired, pour in a small amount of the broth – the tofu will sizzle and pop, creating a caramelized exterior.
- Remove from heat when the tofu is a deep golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Uncover the pot and stir in the tofu, coconut milk, sugar, vegan fish sauce, lime juice, tomatoes, broccoli, and carrots. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Ladle the soup into individual serving bowls. Garnish with cilantro, bean sprouts, and green onion, as desired. Be careful to avoid chewing the Thai chilis and lemongrass.
