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.

Does it have to be ground turkey, or would I be able to make this using turkey necks?

I have a hard time imaging myself eating a chunk of butter, even if it's cilantro flavoured. Seems very Homer Simpson. 'Butter up that bacon, boy!'

my husbands favorite. I use low sodium chicken stock instead of water, sub some heavy cream for a small part of the coconut milk, leave out the green/yellow pepper but add additional green beans. we also have never made the cilantro butter, even though it sounds delicious. the soup by itself is fantastic

The "nutrition " button doesn't work, so you cannot see the carbs

Hi Richard!
I hope that was a temporary problem...it's 12 g carbs / serving.

Where are all the carbs coming from in this recipe? Is it the coconut milk? If I chose to substitute part of the coconut milk with heavy cream, would that knock it down a bit? How many carbs are in coconut milk?

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.
