Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 18 ounce bag frozen meatballs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 32 ounces chicken stock
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
  • 2 cups chopped kale
  • Kosher salt
  • fresh cracked pepper
  • fresh chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the pot over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and give them a quick sear for a few minutes until they’ve got a nice crust on all sides.
  2. Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil to the pot and reduce heat to medium. Add diced yellow onion and a couple large pinches of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes.
  3. Add 6 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon curry paste, 2 teaspoons curry powder, and a couple large pinches of salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
  4. Add 32 ounces of broth, 1 can of full-fat coconut milk, and 1 cup of uncooked orzo pasta, along with a couple large pinches of salt and pepper.
  5. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes or until pasta is cooked al dente. Stir every minute or so to ensure that the pasta doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot. 
  6. Stir in 2 cups chopped kale until the kale wilts and the soup is warmed through.
  7. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and enjoy!

Notes

    • Spice Level. Check how spicy your red curry paste is. If you are spice-averse, use 2 teaspoons of curry paste (or less). If you like a kick, use 3 teaspoons (or more)! For extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha.

    • Garnish. Fresh chopped cilantro or parsley will add a bright flavor to this soup. Serve the garnish on the side so guests can add as much or as little as they want.
