A DELICIOUS SIMPLE TO PREPARE THAI INSPIRED SOUP.
This Thai-inspired noodle soup is delicious and quick to make. Ready in less than 30 minutes, it’s warm and aromatic and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
What protein can I use?
I used prawns as my protein, but you can use anything you like or have on hand. This would work well with chicken, salmon, scallops, and I have a vegetarian version of the soup here.
Adding the curry paste
When adding your red curry paste to the soup, start with less. Each curry paste can is a little different in regard to spice and potency. Add a little, give the soup a try, and add more if needed.sThe key to this recipe is letting the spices roast and letting the herbs simmer to bring out all the lovely warm flavors.
What vegetables can I use?
ANY! I used choy sum + broccoli for my veggies, I love Asian greens and for me, these are a go-to, mushroom, peppers, green beans are some other great options!
For the Noodles
I have used kelp noodles today which are great plant-based mineral-rich noodles. They have the texture of a glass noodle and soften over time as they are exposed to heat and acid. You can also use classic rice noodles, or to get more veggies in, zoodles or daikon noodles!
Leftovers?
You don't want the soup making the noodles super soggy, so I would store the noodles and the soup separately if you can. The soup keeps well for 2-3 days.
I hope you enjoy this beautiful yet simple dish! Would love to hear if you made it!
