Ingredients You’ll Need

(Serves 4 | Total Time: 30 minutes)

1 tbsp coconut oil (hello, healthy fats!)
1 onion, diced + 3 garlic cloves, minced (flavor foundation)
1 tbsp fresh ginger (for that zingy kick)
2-3 tbsp red curry paste (Mae Ploy or Thai Kitchen work great)
1 can full-fat coconut milk (creaminess level: luxurious)
4 cups bone broth (or veggie broth + 2 scoops collagen peptides)
1 lb protein: Chicken, shrimp, tofu, or chickpeas
2 cups veggies: Bell peppers, carrots, spinach, or zucchini
1 tbsp fish sauce (or coconut aminos for vegan)
Juice of 1 lime (brightness is key!)
Toppings: Fresh cilantro, chili flakes, crushed peanuts

Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Sizzle the Aromatics

Heat coconut oil in a Dutch oven or pot. Sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until golden and fragrant—about 3 minutes. This builds the flavor base!

2️⃣ Bloom the Curry Paste

Add curry paste to the pot and stir for 1-2 minutes. Toasting the paste wakes up the spices and adds depth.

3️⃣ Create the Broth

Pour in coconut milk and broth. If using collagen powder, whisk it in now—it’ll dissolve completely! Bring to a gentle simmer.

4️⃣ Cook Protein & Veggies

Chicken: Add sliced raw chicken and simmer 8-10 minutes.
Shrimp/Tofu: Add in the last 4-5 minutes to avoid overcooking.
Toss in chopped veggies (carrots, peppers) and simmer until tender.

5️⃣ Finish with Greens & Zing

Stir in spinach or kale until wilted. Hit the soup with lime juice and fish sauce. Taste and adjust—add a pinch of coconut sugar if you crave balance.

Serving Ideas & Pro Tips

Garnish Galore: Top with cilantro, peanuts, lime wedges, or a drizzle of sriracha mayo.
Vegan Hack: Use tofu + plant-based collagen peptides and swap fish sauce for tamari.
Meal Prep: Stores in the fridge for 3 days or freeze for 1 month.

Why Collagen Belongs in Your Soup

Collagen isn’t just a buzzword! This protein keeps skin plump, supports hair/nail growth, and aids digestion. Simmering collagen peptides (or using bone broth) infuses the soup with these benefits without altering the flavor. It’s wellness made delicious.

Final Thoughts

This Coconut Curry Collagen Soup is the ultimate antidote to bland “health food.” It’s creamy, spicy, and loaded with nutrients that make your body and taste buds happy. Plus, it’s versatile—toss in whatever veggies or protein you have on hand.
