Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Soup Base:

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • 1 small onion, diced

    • 3 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

    • 1 tablespoon red curry paste

    • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

    • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

    • 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional, for authentic Thai flavor)

    • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

    • 1 teaspoon brown sugar

    • Juice of 1 lime

    For the Protein & Noodles:

    • 12 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined

    • 6 oz rice noodles (or your favorite noodles)

    Toppings & Garnishes:

    • ½ cup shredded carrots

    • ½ cup bean sprouts

    • 2 green onions, chopped

    • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

    • 1 red chili or red pepper flakes (optional for extra heat)

Instructions

  • Sauté the Aromatics:
    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the red curry paste and cook for another 1 minute.

  • Build the Broth:
    Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and coconut milk. Add fish sauce (if using), soy sauce, and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  • Cook the Shrimp & Noodles:
    Add the shrimp to the simmering broth and cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. In a separate pot, cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.

  • Finish & Serve:
    Stir in the fresh lime juice into the soup and taste for seasoning. Adjust the salt, spice, or sweetness as needed. Divide the cooked rice noodles into bowls and ladle the soup over the noodles.

 

  • Garnish & Enjoy!
    Top with shredded carrots, bean sprouts, chopped green onions, cilantro, and red chili or red pepper flakes (optional). Serve hot and enjoy this aromatic Thai noodle soup!

Notes

  • If you want to adjust the spice level, you can reduce the amount of red curry paste or add more red chili flakes.

  • You can substitute the rice noodles with other types of noodles such as egg noodles or soba noodles.

 

  • Fish sauce is optional but adds authentic Thai flavor; if you don’t have it, you can skip it.
