This Thai-style soup is easy to make and is packed full of healthy stuff to keep you going this winter. Coconut milk and red curry paste are a classic combination that result in a warm, almost creamy broth that is bursting with flavor. Control the heat by adding sriracha when serving. I love a good spicy soup when it is freezing outside. It warms me from the inside out.
