Simple Instructions
- Cook the veggies. Sweet potatoes and carrots are harder vegetables so they must be cooked down a bit before simmering the soup together. Sauté the vegetables together for about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, onion, and red pepper and saute for another few minutes.
- Simmer everything together. Add the coconut milk and curry paste to the pot and whisk the ingredients together until the curry paste is combined with the coconut milk. Then, add the broth, sriracha, green onion, cilantro, and lime juice to the pot and stir to combine. Bring the ingredients to a boil. Add the peas and simmer the soup for 15 minutes.
- Cook the noodles separately. Cook noodles to al dente and when the soup has simmered, serve the soup with the rice noodles and your favorite toppings.
Top Tips
You can use red or green curry paste. We used red curry paste for this soup to add a bit of spice. If you would like a sweeter curry soup, use green curry paste.
Don’t simmer your soup for too long. This soup is designed to be ready in 30 minutes. If you simmer the soup for too long you will end up with mushy vegetables.
Be sure to wait to add the noodles. The noodles will continue to cook in the broth so be sure to add the noodles right before serving the soup. Be sure not to store the noodles in the broth.
