• Oil: I want the impartial taste of avocado oil, however coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil may also work. 
• Aromatics: Lemongrass, garlic cloves, ginger, and Thai chook’s eye chilis create a pungent, savory, tangy, spicy taste base. 
• Veggies: Shiitake mushrooms, bok choy, bean sprouts, snap peas, and spiralized zucchini or summer time squash add tons of nutritional vitamins, vitamins, and bulk to the soup. Be happy to incorporate additional veggies like pink bell pepper and onions, too. 
• Rooster Broth: I virtually all the time have selfmade rooster broth available, however storebought broth may also work. Use a low-sodium choice to forestall the soup from being too salty. 
• Coconut Milk: Use full-fat canned coconut milk for a wealthy, creamy broth. 
• Fish Sauce: This provides a salty, umami style. 
• Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed is greatest! The acidity provides a vivid taste to the soup for a well-rounded style. 
• Herbs and Spices: Curry powder, basil leaves, cilantro, sea salt, pepper, and pink pepper flakes add numerous depth. 
• Shrimp: Use one pound of thawed, peeled, and deveined shrimp. 
• Rice Noodles: These are non-obligatory however are so tasty and make the soup additional filling. Ramen noodles may also work! 

1. Sauté: Warmth the oil in a big Dutch oven over medium warmth, and sauté the lemongrass, garlic, and ginger till aromatic. 
2. Add the veggies: Add the mushrooms, bok choy, bean sprouts, and snap peas to the pot, and sauté till the veggies start to melt. 
3. Simmer: Stir within the broth, coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice, curry powder, chilis, basil, cilantro, salt, pepper, and pink pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered over medium-high warmth for five minutes. 
4. Add the shrimp: Stir the shrimp into the soup, and prepare dinner till they flip opaque. 
5. Add the remaining components: Stir within the spiralized summer time squash or zucchini and rice noodles, if utilizing. 
6. Serve: Season to style. Then, portion the Thai curry noodle soup into bowls, garnish with cilantro, lime wedges, and pink pepper flakes, and luxuriate in heat! 

To retailer, separate the rice noodles and veggie spirals from the soup, and retailer all of the elements in separate hermetic containers within the fridge for as much as 4 days. 

Reheat leftovers within the microwave or in a pot over medium warmth on the range, including extra broth as wanted to freshen the soup again up. 

I don’t advocate freezing this Thai curry soup! The broth is prone to separate, the veggies are inclined to turn into mushy, and the shrimp turn into rubbery as soon as thawed.
