Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Finely chop onion and ginger. Sauté in oil in a large skillet or sauce pan, until the onions are translucent.
- Add ground poultry and stir until fully cooked. Add curry paste and bell peppers, and stir until incorporated.
- Add the remaining soup ingredients, except for the beans, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Trim the beans and chop coarsely. Add to the soup towards the end to maintain texture and color.
- Serve the soup in bowls and top off with cilantro butter.
Cilantro butter
- Mix oil and cilantro using an immersion blender.
- Add butter and other remaining ingredients and whip with a hand mixer until fluffy. Serve with the soup.
Tip!
Keep some on hand! This soup freezes well, so make a big batch. That way you’ll always have some on hand for a delicious, quick lunch – or for when you feel a cold coming on. Switch it up! If coconut’s not your thing, swap in heavy whipping cream instead. Not a fan of cilantro? No worries. Fresh flat-leaf parsley is a perfect pinch hitter. Add even more variety by playing around with other flavored butters.

I hope that was a temporary problem...it's 12 g carbs / serving.
Hi, May! Many ingredients here contribute to the carb count. Onion, ginger, curry paste, bell pepper, coconut milk, green beans, cilantro, coriander, and lime juice all contain carbs. You can omit certain ingredients you don't like to lower the carbs if needed. Heavy cream and coconut milk are pretty similar on the carb scale. Coconut milk has .8 carbs per tablespoon, while heavy cream has .5 per tablespoon.
