How to make this Coconut Curry Noodle Soup

First in a large pot heat a bit of oil (or vegetable broth, if you prefer oil free cooking). Add minced garlic and fry it for around 3 minutes.

Then transfer the mixed vegetables (broccoli, mushrooms, bell pepper, carrots, onions) and fry all for 2 minutes more.

Finally add Thai yellow curry paste, optional fenugreek and curry powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste before the rice noodles, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Cook for 8 minutes more, and serve in bowls.

It is super versatile and for everyone a wonder Thai coconut curry recipe. One tip for you: if you’re sensitive to heat, scale down the Thai yellow curry paste to your linking. Start with 2 tsp and go from there spoon by spoon. You should also skip the optional curry powder, or scale it down.

Tips for meal prep ideas and variations:

If you plan meals ahead, I got you covered: You can prepare this noodle soup up to 5 days in advance. Just imagine, you can eat the whole week from it. Plus the flavors taste even better.

If you’re looking for side dishes to serve with this soup, think of rice, quinoa, potatoes, or maybe a naan like this Easy Roasted Garlic Naan.

Looking for healthy frozen meals? Then this noodle soup is just right for you. Make sure before freezing that you cool it completely. If you need to know more, check this guide about “Freezing Curry“.
