- 1 large red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 1 large yellow bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 1 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 stalks celery (thinly sliced)
- 2 carrots (medium, thinly sliced)
- 6 tablespoons Thai red curry paste (found in international aisle)
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (fresh grated)
- 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
- 1 can coconut milk (13.5 oz)
- 1/4 cup cilantro (or parsley, chopped)
- 1 lime (juiced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Heat oil: On medium heat add a small amount of oil to a large pot.
- Cook vegetables: Add the bell peppers, onion, carrot and celery. Cook until just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Sauté aromatics: Stir in red curry paste, ginger and garlic until fragrant. Sauté about 1-2 minutes.
- Add broth and simmer: Add in the chicken broth and stir until evenly combined. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, about 10-15 minutes. The soup will darken in color as the soup simmers and flavors develop.
- Cook noodles: While the soup is simmering, bring another pot of water to a boil. Cook vermicelli noodles for 1-2 minutes until just cooked through. Drain noodles and rinse under cold water immediately to stop the cooking process. Tip: use a fork or tongs to stir the noodles to prevent them from sticking together while they cook.
- Add coconut milk: Stir in the coconut milk to the soup and simmer until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Finish soup: Remove from heat. Stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Add in the noodles.
- Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Tip: use a fork or tongs to stir the noodles to prevent them from sticking together while they cook.
