The use of aromatic green curry paste and springy zucchini "noodles" make this a popular soup that we have featured in several variations since December 2014.

Make

Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add curry paste, coconut milk, stock, lemongrass, aminos and Stevia. Cover, and bring to a boil.
While soup is cooking, heat a wok or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then zucchini noodles to the heated oil. Saute for 4 to 6 minutes, tossing frequently, until zucchini is tender but still crunchy.
Return to soup and add in mushrooms and shrimp. Simmer until shrimp are cooked through, pink on the outside and no longer translucent, ~4 minutes.
Remove from heat and fold in spinach leaves. Finish with lime juice. Season soup to taste with more aminos, sweetener or lime juice.
Divide zucchini "noodles" and soup into bowls (discard lemongrass stalks). Top with cilantro. Enjoy piping hot!
