As nix tin quite jibe the soothing feeling of mouthfuls of steaming hot soup gradually warming your trunk from caput to toe, the idea of a bowl with some extra spicy flair combined with the comforting goodness of autumn vegetables presently became a reality.
This Thai cherry-red curry soup is elegant as well as surprisingly lite despite the add-on of earthy vegetables as well as crispy pieces of meaty tempeh. I particularly similar the creamy kokosnoot broth made with
homemade Thai cherry-red curry paste that serves equally a base of operations for lightly cooked vegetables.

You may wishing to cut the amount of tempeh used inwards your soup, as well as that's okay, because the marinated as well as fried tempeh is delicious for snacking on, then teach ahead as well as little upward the whole packet anyway. You tin munch on the tempeh equally an appetizer inwards anticipation of the side yesteryear side course. You may of course of report omit the tempeh altogether for a lighter version of this dish though I personally enjoyed the chewy texture it imparts to the whole culinary experience.
