Green Curry Soup with Shrimp

We reached way back into our archives for inspiration for this tasty soup. It makes use of fast-cooking vegetables and shrimp and gets a flavorful boost from a rich green curry base. A version of this meal first appeared in 2015.
Smarts: Curry pastes can vary widely in spice level. If you're unsure, try adding a smaller amount at first and increasing it as needed.
