Let’s face it. Tomato soup isn’t exactly the most exotic soup in the world. Well, that changes starting today with part 3 in my 6-part tomato soup series for a Thai tomato soup recipe. Now that’s probably not too surprising if you follow Fearless Eating regularly. I did write a book on Thai soups, after […]
Of all the pictures I took for my new cookbook, The Thai Soup Secret, this one for a Thai bouillabaisse, is probably my favorite. It makes me want to stick my face in it and start slurping all that seafood goodness. Am I right all you seafood lovers?! I don’t understand sometimes how anyone could […]
Surely, somewhere in tropical Thailand, someone makes a Thai Watermelon Mint Soup recipe similar to this one (though I never encountered it in my travels in Thailand). The combination of a steamy hot summer day with Thai seasonings, mint, and watermelon makes for a wonderfully cooling and intensely flavorful soup. Planning an outdoor backyard party in […]
Tom Saap is a simple Thai pork ribs hot and sour soup that really showcases the fragrant depths that fresh lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves can add to soups. It was one of the few recipes in my book, The Thai Soup Secret, that I nailed on my first attempt during the recipe testing phase. It […]
Khao tom gai, a very simple Thai chicken and rice soup, is not that different than a typical chicken soup your grandmother would make. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that your grandparents might actually like this recipe! That is if you could get them to try it. I don’t know about […]
Gaeng Om, an herbal curry soup from northeastern Thailand, is not your typical Thai curry. It’s not fiery hot. It’s not rich and heavy. And it’s not sweet. Nor is it made with the red and green Thai curry pastes that require lots of ingredients and a good hour spent pounding everything into a paste in a mortar […]
Next week I will finally be releasing my new book, The Thai Soup Secret, which will include 40 recipes for different types of Thai soups and broths. And so on the week before its release, I thought I’d share the Introduction to the book where I explain why I wrote a book about Thai soups. It’s not just […]
A Thai coconut carrot soup may not be a staple in your diet but it’s probably similar to other types of creamy vegetable soups you’ve had throughout your life. Whether your mother made them from scratch or you had them in heavily processed canned form, we all grew up with soups like cream of tomato, potato, broccoli, […]
One of the myths of Thai cuisine is that it’s all super hot and spicy. Nothing could be further from the truth. A great example is a Thai vegetable soup (called Gaeng Jued in Thailand) which is a super simple recipe that’s frequently given to those that are plagued with some form of digestive complaint. Gaeng […]
You might think that a Thai chicken noodle soup is like many Thai soups – rich, intensely flavored with a curry paste, and of course, super spicy. Not so! I promise you there’s more to Thai soups than what you’ll find in western Thai restaurants. For example, this Thai chicken noodle soup is actually not that […]
This Thai beef noodle soup recipe is one of my absolute favorite Thai soups. It’s also pretty easy to make at home though I have to admit there’s nothing quite like getting it in Thailand itself where street vendors peddle their tasty soups from pushcarts which are a little bit like the hot dog carts […]
If you like Thai cuisine and you like pesto, you’ll LOVE this recipe. It combines bone broth, Thai basil pesto, shrimp (you can sub any protein you want), rice vermicelli noodles, optional cherry tomatoes, and Thai seasonings for a unique twist on a regular Italian pesto. Seriously, how amazing does this look?! In my new […]
