We never have donations of lemongrass, and rarely have curry paste, so I can only try to approximate the Thai flavor. Although I’m unsure if Thais use ham in curry.
Yul Brynner would have dug it.

Lots of lime juice. A lip-smacking amount.
“Lime tree very pretty and the lime flower is so sweet. But the fruit of the poor lime is impossible to eat”. Unsure what Peter Paul and Mary were thinking. Oh wait, they were talking about a lemon. Bang on for lime!

Made 3/5/19
Mirepoix: white onion, carrot. Roasted cauliflower, parsnips, milk, red curry paste, sugar, garlic.
The curry paste had flames leaping off it. So hot you couldn’t really taste anything but the fire. I didn’t realize this until I had dumped in way too much (I was so excited to have real Thai flavor). Tasted good to me cause I have a tolerance for heat, but a lot of our clients aren’t so keen on spicy food. Thus perhaps could be called a failure.
Made 2/13/19
Standard mirepoix. Chicken, roasted eggplant, okra, red green and yellow bell pepper, asparagus, parsnip, peanut butter, coriander, cayenne pepper, garlic, cinnamon, curry powder, whipping cream, milk, lime juice.
Met Market packaged vegies are hit and miss. The parsnips in this soup were good–seasoned with rosemary, if a bit soft. But the prepared carrots and mirepoix taste weird. I think maybe they use vinegar or something else as a preservative. At any rate, by the time they get to us, they are acidic and stink. Go figure.
Adams Peanut Butter is good in soups. Others can be a bit too sugary.

It’s “almost” Asian because the coconut milk had practically no taste. Does coconut milk go flat with age?
Made 12/12/18
Standard mirepoix. Potato, kohlrabi, carrots, dried cherries, curry powder, garlic.
I pureed the mirepoix with some of the potatoes to add some creaminess (had no flour nor starch).
Made 10/10/18
Mirepoix: yellow onion, carrot, green bell pepper. Butternut squash, potato, beef, asparagus, peanut butter, curry powder, cayenne pepper, coriander, lime juice, garlic, cinnamon
