thai curry noodle soup

Hands up. Who doesn’t love brothy Asian soups? Who doesn’t  love Thai red curry? If your hand is still down Thai curry noodle soup is for you.

It’s not complicated at all. Weeknight simple in fact. Some chicken stock. Coconut milk, A bit of Thai red curry paste and a pot.

Chicken if you want it. Noodles of course. Kaffir lime leaves if you can find them. They really do lend a little something special. Not a deal breaker though.

After that it’s all about the garnishes. Mint. Cilantro. Green chilies. Whatever you like. This isn’t baking. There’s no penalty if you deviate from the recipe. It’s a guideline.

Go with what you like. Hotter?  More chili paste. No lime leaves? Roll with it. You’ll live. Take this where you want. Where you feel like going. Thai curry noodle soup. Make it your own.

thai curry noodle soup

Thai curry noodle soup is as mild or as intense as you like. Red curry paste isn't blazing hot so try a little extra and see what you think. You can also make it with green or yellow curry paste - just make sure to adjust for heat levels...

    No love for this? Am surprised. Tried it at the weekend and both a doddle to make and delicious. Plenty of fish sauce for the win 🙂

    Used mint, lime and spring onions to garnish. Added a few seeded and sliced bird eye chillis to the broth to liven it up.

    Thanks again for another solid recipe. Much appreciated 👍
