Not sure what your stance is on Thai food but for me, it’s an essential part of life. I don’t have to eat it every day of the week but I do like eating some form of Thai food at least once a week. I am accustomed to eating foods rich in herbs and spices so eating Thai food is a natural thing.
I absolutely love eating foods from around the world that are either heavily spiced or contain a lot of fresh herbs to bring the flavors together. What I find most enjoyable about Thai food is how surprisingly light the food is. You always feel satisfied but you never feel heavy like you just ate a pile of lead.
As far as soup and light meals go shrimp curry soup is the perfect meal when you want to fill a void while avoiding eating something heavy you will later regret. At the time of writing this, the weather was both cold and very wet all day so a soup is exactly the required meal to make me feel like I was somewhere warm and sunny.
Leave it to Chungah from Damn Delicious to share an extraordinary soup that is full of flavor and also features enough protein to make you feel more than satisfied.
