Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 10 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp lemongrass, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp ginger, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 medium red chilli, deseeded and chopped – to cook in the soup
  • 2 level tsp turmeric
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 800ml vegetable stock
  • 400g mushrooms, sliced
  • 100g mangetouts

Garnish:

  • 1 handful of fresh basil leaves, preferably Thai holy basil variety – use regular basil if you can’t get it
  • 1 more red chilli, de-seeded and chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Gently heat the oil in a large saucepan. Sauté the spring onions together with finely chopped lemongrass and crushed garlic until softened but not browned.
  2. Add the chopped chilli and turmeric and stir for a minute, then pour in the coconut milk and vegetable stock. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes.
  3. Slice the mangetouts diagonally into very thin slices. Add them to the soup with the basil leaves and simmer for a further 2-3 minutes. Check the seasoning and add a little salt if necessary. Garnish with the chilli and basil.

Tip: If you don’t serve the soup straight away, prepare the mangetouts and only add them at the last minute. They should still retain a little crunch.

Did you know that the Vegan Recipe Club is run by Viva!, and that we are a charity?

We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.

Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism; but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding. If you already support us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are really making a difference! Please share our details with your friends and loved ones too, as every donation enables us to keep fighting for change.
