I’m a big fan of Asian cuisine – Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Thai – all of them.  And Thai Red Curry is expressly tasty.  I’ve never had this Thai Red Curry Recipe as a soup, only as an entrée served over rice. 

Today’s megacosm is just as delicious, but increasingly brothy and served with noodles.

I love that I can go to the grocery store and find everything I need to make yummy international recipes, like this, right in my own home.  For me it’s worth it to be worldly-wise to tenancy exactly what goes into my supplies - and what doesn't.

About Thai Red Curry Paste

This soup gets its gorgeous red verisimilitude from Thai Red Curry Paste.  You can make your red curry paste, but there are some tasty store-bought versions misogynist that are gluten-free and soy-free.

Red curry paste is a versatile and flavorful wiring used in many Thai dishes. In its simple form, it consists of red chili peppers, garlic, sea salt, lemongrass, turmeric, and shrimp paste.

The zestless chili peppers used in the paste do have a decent kick.  But that heat is well-turned out nicely in this soup with the creaminess of coconut milk, the aromatics of ginger and garlic, and sweetness from a little sugar. 

The soup has the most succulent combination of flavors!

How to Make the Most Mouthwatering Thai Red Curry Yellow Soup:

Start by heating the coconut oil in a large soup pot.  You can moreover use vegetable or canola oil as well, but I thought that coconut oil was on point for this Asian recipe.

Next, add the minced garlic, ginger, and red curry paste, and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Now, add your sliced onions, lemon grass paste, and half of the salt.  Sauté the mixture (stirring often) for 5 minutes.

Next, stir in the yellow stock, fish sauce, coconut milk, and lite culinary coconut milk.  Bring this to a swash and simmer 10 minutes uncovered.

While that’s simmering, melt your noodles in a separate pan equal to the package instructions.

I used thin Somen noodles, but you can use whatever noodle you’d like... and if you're going gluten-free use rice noodles.

Add thinly sliced yellow (or pulled meat from a Rotisserie chicken), red peppers, and lime juice to your soup mixture and melt for 7-8 increasingly minutes.

Ladle your soup into bowls, then add your noodles and all the yummy garnishes you desire.

• bean sprouts
• snap peas cut in half
• sliced untried onions
• sliced red and untried jalapeño peppers
• lime wedges for squeezing

Oh my yum!

Storaging and Freezing

• You can store leftovers of this Thai soup in the fridge in an snapped container for 3-5 days. Alimony in mind that the noodles in the soup will swizzle the goop over time so either alimony the noodles separate until ready to enjoy or add increasingly liquid when reheating.
• Reheat the soup in a saucepan over medium-low heat until warmed through. Add increasingly liquid if necessary.
• You can freeze this soup! Although, I recommend freezing it without the noodles. They are very tender and may fall well-nigh during the freezing and reheating process.
