1/4 cup red curry paste
08 -
6 cups chicken broth or vegetable stock
09 -
1 (14 oz.) can full-fat coconut milk

# Instructions:
01 -
In a dutch-oven or large pot, heat the avocado or olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions, red bell pepper, and carrots. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
02 -
Stir in the minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and red curry paste. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning and to ensure the curry paste gets well incorporated with the vegetables.
03 -
Pour in the chicken broth (or vegetable stock for a vegetarian version), coconut milk, and fish sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
04 -
Once simmering, cook the soup uncovered for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the broth to slightly reduce and concentrate in flavor.
05 -
Add the ramen or rice noodles to the simmering broth and cook until tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of noodles you're using, so check the package directions. If using packaged ramen, make sure to discard the seasoning packet.
06 -
Once the noodles are tender, stir in the fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed. Serve hot with additional fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
# Notes:
01 -
The strength of curry paste varies by brand - Thai Kitchen brand was used in developing this recipe.
02 -
For the noodles, both ramen and rice noodles work well, but avoid ultra-thin noodles like vermicelli.
03 -
For a protein boost, add cooked shredded chicken, tofu cubes, or shrimp during the last few minutes of cooking.
