STREET NOODLE SOUP

September 18 2020

I am a huge fan of Thai and Vietnamese cuisine! When I went to Thailand in 2015, I had the best food experience and have been improving my Thai flavoured recipes since.

Living previously in Toronto, we had the best Thai restaurants around. One particular restaurant, Lime (near Yonge St and Lawrence Ave in Toronto) served my favourite Street Noodle Soup. My partner and I loved this dish, and since living in Winnipeg, we can’t find anything that compares.

So after multiple attempts at trying to recreate this soup, I created my own version. The original soup has a coconut curry broth, which is incredible, however I tried to make a lighter broth for a change, and it was delicious!

Street Noodle Soup with shrimp

This street style soup is great for a quick and delicious weeknight meal! You can add other vegetables if preferred and swap the shrimp for another protein as well.
