Recipe details
Ingredients
- Oil, for cooking
- 3 medium bell peppers (yellow, green, or red), thinly sliced
- 1 medium white onion, thinly sliced
- 2 carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
- 6 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 950 ml (4 cups) vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 can (400 ml / 13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 1 pack (400–500 g / 14–17 oz) rice noodles
- Juice of 1 lime
- 4 g fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, add a small amount of oil. Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir in the Thai red curry paste, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the flavours to develop and the broth to deepen in colour.
- Meanwhile, bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until tender. Drain immediately and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Gently stir the noodles with tongs or a fork to prevent sticking.
- Add the coconut milk to the soup and simmer for another 10 minutes, letting the broth become slightly richer and creamier.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro. Add the cooked noodles and mix gently to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
