Red Thai Curry Noodle Soup
February 15 2021
This is one of my all time favourite soups! I can eat this Red Thai Curry soup any time of year, whether it’s winter or on a hot summer day. The flavours come together so nicely and you will be so happy to have leftovers the next day!
I always serve this soup with different proteins depending on what I have on hand or if I’m craving something specific. You can serve this soup with shrimp/seafood, salmon, chicken, beef or tofu. That’s the beauty of this recipe, it’s flexible and delicious every time!
I know it can be intimidating to make Thai food if it’s not something you’re used to, but you have to try it because it is SO good! Once you start cooking different dishes, you will get more comfortable over time. Try my easy recipe below!
