Just look at that color!!! ???
I'm not usually such a pink girl, but that bowl of brightness has me changing my ways. Isn't it so pretty? It's seriously the most Valentine's Day appropriate soup I've ever laid eyes on.
So for all things pink and pretty today, let's eat Coconut Thai Borscht!
And let's eat it anytime we need a splash of color in our lives/ warming up/ a delicious bowl of soup.
I have a theory about Thai curry pastes. Want to hear it? I think that the best pastes have the least amount of English on the packaging. That's how I choose which brand to buy and it's always worked out for me.
The jar I normally reach for wasn't on the shelf when I went shopping. That little package up there with lots of Thai writing on it is super flavorful. If you can find it where you shop, definitely pick it up. If not, look for as little English on the package as possible.
Side note – that brand up there (Nam Jai Brand) has Whole30 compliant ingredients. ?

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped ginger
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed
- 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 1 1/2 lb. beets, peeled and cubed
- 4 cups stock (veggie and chicken both work well)
- 1 – 15-ounce can coconut milk (save a little if you'd like to drizzle it on top)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Sea salt, to taste (about 2 teaspoons)
- Optional toppings: coconut milk, sesame seeds, cilantro
Instructions
- Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and let it cook until soft and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, and Thai curry paste and cook for 2 minutes more.
- Add the beets and stock to the pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the beets are soft.
- Transfer the soup to your blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend on high until smooth. Return the soup to the pot and add the coconut milk and lime juice. Season to taste with sea salt then serve the soup with any or all of the toppings.
