If you’re looking for a good Dutch Oven pot for recipes like this Thai soup, here’s my best advice- the Dutch Oven pot I use is a total beauty from Le Creuset (affiliate link) and it gets used in my kitchen almost ever day throughout the year for all kinds of soups, stews, sauces, curries, and even for baking crusty artisan bread bread (if you want my original Dutch Oven Crusty Bread recipe, grab it HERE! It goes GREAT with this recipe!). A pot like mine is definitely a financial investment, but considering how much I use it and considering its high quality, it’s definitely a worthy investment since it will last for 10 or 20 years, or even longer! I’ve also used similar cast iron pots from other brands, like THIS ONE from KitchenAid and THIS ONE from Lodge Cast Iron (both affiliate links) if you’re looking for something a little less expensive but still high quality that’ll do the job well.

Recipe: Instructions 

• Heat a large pot over medium high heat. Add the olive oil.
• Once the oil has heated add the curry paste, honey, fish sauce, ginger, lime juice and zest, and salt and pepper. These are the aromatics of the recipe (the flavour-builders), so let them heat up nicely for several minutes, stirring regularly.
• Add the coconut milk and stock, stir well and cover the pot, letting the soup simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring regularly.
• Add the uncooked shrimp, bell pepper, onions, mushrooms, carrots, and broccoli and stir well to combine.
• Cover the pot again and let cook for about 7-10 minutes, turning the heat to medium low.
• After this time, the shrimp should be cooked through and the veggies should have softened slightly (you don't want them to be falling apart and mushy - they should still hold their shape in a soup like this).
• Serve in large bowls with crusty bread for dipping, with a sprinkling of fresh cilantro and some fresh lime wedges, if desired.
