Soup with shrimp, green beans and coconut milk - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use other vegetables besides green beans in this soup?

Absolutely! Broccoli florets, snow peas, or even edamame would work well as substitutes or additions. Adjust cooking time as needed for different vegetables.

I'm allergic to shrimp. What can I use instead?

Chicken or firm tofu are great alternatives. If using chicken, ensure it's cooked through before adding the coconut milk. Tofu should be pan-fried or baked until golden-brown for the best texture.

How long can I store leftover soup in the refrigerator?

Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.

Can I freeze this soup?

While this soup can be frozen, the texture of the coconut milk and green beans might change slightly upon thawing. Freeze in portion-sized containers for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating gently on the stovetop.

I want to make this soup vegetarian. What can I use instead of shrimp?

Firm tofu (pan-fried or baked) or chickpeas are excellent vegetarian options. Add them during the last few minutes of cooking to warm through.

How can I adjust the spiciness of this soup?

Control the amount of chili you add when serving. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the pot while it simmers for an extra kick.

Can I use dried coriander instead of fresh?

Yes, you can. Use about 1 teaspoon of dried coriander for every tablespoon of fresh coriander called for in the recipe. Keep in mind the flavor won't be as vibrant.

What's a good way to serve this soup?

Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. A side of crusty bread or rice complements it nicely.
