Description

This Thai-inspired red curry noodle soup is creamy, spicy, and packed with fresh vegetables, tender noodles, and a rich coconut curry broth. A restaurant-worthy dish that’s ready in under 40 minutes!


Ingredients

Broth:

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 23 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or fish sauce for traditional flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Veggies and Noodles:

  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 6 oz rice noodles (medium-width)
  • 2 cups baby spinach (or bok choy)
  • Juice of 1 lime

Garnish:

  • Fresh cilantro and Thai basil, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in garlic, ginger, and curry paste; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in broth, coconut milk, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
  4. Add bell pepper, carrot, and mushrooms. Simmer for 10 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  5. Add rice noodles and cook according to package directions (usually 4–6 minutes).
  6. Stir in spinach and lime juice. Cook 1–2 minutes until spinach wilts.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce, lime, or curry paste if desired.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro, Thai basil, and lime wedges.

Notes

  • Add protein: try shrimp, chicken, or tofu for a heartier soup.
  • Adjust heat: more curry paste = spicier broth.
  • For extra creaminess, add 1 more can of coconut milk.
  • Leftovers may thicken; add a splash of broth or water when reheating.
