Chilled Mango Red Curry Soup with Shrimp

Chilled Mango Red Curry Soup with Shrimp | www.theeverykitchen.com
Leave it to me to make a chilled soup in the middle of winter.

I just got an idea and ran with it and, little did I know, when my idea came to fruition, it would taste better as a cool summery soup than as a warm wintery one. Sometimes these things happen. Whatcha gonna do? (Shrugs shoulders.)


I went to one of my favorite local restaurants last weekend and ate a bowl of mussels in a red coconut curry sauce. And ya know what? It ruined me+mussels for the rest of my life, unless said mussels happen to be hanging out in a swimming pool of delightfully creamy and smoky red coconut curry sauce. In which case, they are goners.

And since that night, I’ve had red coconut curry on the mind. My first thought was to make a curried cauliflower soup. And I might still do that one day. But my first attempt went down the drain. It was a sad, sad day in my kitchen. The first time I’ve ever had to chuck an entire recipe invention.

But I picked up all the little pieces of my Kitchen Queen life and set out to try, try again. Just not with cauliflower. But definitely still using red coconut curry. And so I thought about all the things that taste good with red coconut curry and this is what I came up with:

  • Mussels
  • Shrimp
  • Kaffir lime
  • Cilantro
  • Mango
  • Ginger
  • Shallots

…I could keep going, but here’s the rub: All the things that taste delicious with red coconut curry cannot possibly fit into only one pot. So, at some point, I had to stop with my list and start poking through my refrigerator.

And that’s how Chilled Mango & Red Curry Soup with Shrimp was born.

I ate one bowl hot and one bowl cold. Hands down, this soup should be served chilled. The bright flavors simply shine through better at that temperature. Tart lime, sweet mango, a punch of ginger, a spark of shallot, and spicy curry. Every bite can taste a little bit different depending on what flavors you’re searching for. This soup is certainly light enough for an appetizer or entremet, but I added some shrimp to make it a slightly more filling lunch.
