If I had to make a list of my all-time favorite things to eat, soup, shrimp and coconut would be right there at the top of the list. Okay, so they would be after bacon, but still right there near the top. Okay, maybe behind chocolate too — but still at the very head of the class.
So this speedy little soup is a great favorite of mine. It combines shrimp and coconut milk with angel hair pasta and carrots and it all comes together in a delicious, rich-tasting mixture that is part soup, part stew, and totally wonderful. I like to sprinkle some flaked coconut on top each serving – it gives it a little of that sweet and salty kick that I am so hopelessly addicted to. It’s like a little taste of the tropics, right here in the middle of snowy, cold, snowy, windy, snowy February. (Did I mention that we had some snow?)
Go warm up with some nice hot coconut shrimp soup.

That sounds like the perfect winter meal – and that does is adorable!
thanks again, kate!
now, can we talk about this awesome idea of a coconut garnish for a soup? yum…
Been lurking for some time and this is the first recipe I've given a try as a happened to have most of the ingredients on hand. My tweaks? Sub'd 1/2 jalepeno with seeds for red pepper (I like it hot!), upped it to 3 cloves garlic (I also love garlic), light instead of full-fat coconut milk and had no scallions so used cilantro.
I very much enjoyed the finished product but felt like *something* was missing. I attribute this to my light coconut milk and use of water resulting in a less flavorful base. The recipe is a keeper, but I think next time – while I'll keep the light CM – I'll use chicken or seafood stock for a richer soup.
so…I say 4 out of 5 stars for the soup. But 5 out of 5 for the dog!
Erin: thanks for the feedback and let me know how it goes next time! I will try with chicken broth too, great suggestion.
what a delicious recipe, I love anything food that come from the sea, but the shrimp is like my kryptonite, shrimp cocktail, shrimp soup, shrimp sandwich, hey!!! I sound like Bubba from Forest Gump.
Looks delish – photos are sublime.
awesome winter soup, Kate! went with the chicken stock in place of water and it has great flavour! thanks again.
I’m so glad! It’s one of my faves – good and really good for you too!
