Who needs a trip to Thailand when you can taste all of it’s rich, and exotic glory right in the comfort of your own home with this Instant Pot Thai Yam Soup (freezer meal).

Yams are always in abundance this time of year, and they are usually used to make super sweet candied yams during the holidays. You know, as much as I adore those sweet, marshmallowy gems, I knew that couldn’t be the only way to enjoy yams. I was right! This soup will have you looking at yams in a new light, guaranteed.

Instant Pot Thai Curry Soup!! It is creamy, and tastes so authentic to any Thai cuisine I have ever had. The red curry paste gives this soup depth of flavor and just the right kick of spice to warm your soul.

Instant Pot Thai Yam Soup Recipe that is both freezer meal friendly and slow cooker instructions included too! I love how creamy this soup is!

This is actually a pretty healthy soup too! If you want to make this dish extra exotic and fun try using purple yams (also known as Ube). It really does make the soup purple in color, and I swear…it is a little creamier and a little bit tastier too!

Make ahead and freeze this Thai Yam Soup - Instant Pot & Slow Cooker directions included too!

I have included in this Instant Pot Thai Yam Soup recipe directions for Instant Pot AND Slow Cooker, because I know not everyone out there has an Instant Pot yet. This way you still can make this awesome delicious freezer meal!!

    Do you have a brand of Red Curry Paste you could recommend? I’ve never used it before. But this recipe sounds so good. I want to give it a try.
    Thanks

    Holy sh$$. This was excellent. Cheap, healthy, and so so yummy. Didn’t seem like something out of the freezer, either. Always a perk!

    How do you think this would be with some coconut milk?

      Instant pot can sometimes have issues with coconut milk, but give it a try, you never know!

        Hi! I finally made this and I wanted to share how the coconut milk turned out. I had the ingredients in the freezer and took them out to make it finally today. I did the slow cooker version but only put in the 32 oz of broth as it cooked. At the end, before blending it, I added 2 cups of coconut milk instead of water. It had a very authentic Thai flavor.

        However, it made a huge amount. I am going to have to freeze some of the prepared soup now!

    I’m curious why you cook the Yam first if freezing. It seems you still cook the soup for 20 minutes at pressure either way. I know freezing raw potatoes isn’t all that great; is this for a similar reason?

      Yes, that’s exactly right, can’t freeze raw yams or potatoes or they will go brown…
