Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup
This is the second red soup I have done this month. I know it is February, but that was not intentional.
My older brother loves Asian food, especially soups. I was having him over for dinner and wanted to try this recipe. I had pretty much everything on hand which is a plus. I used avocado oil for this recipe. Seed oils like corn and canola cause inflammation in the body so should be avoided.
The recipe calls for 1/4 cup of the red curry paste.You can find this at any Asian grovery store or Asian section of the grocery store. The same is true for the fish sauce, and coconut milk.
The soup was not spicy. Adjust the amount of curry to a level that suits your taste. I also took a short cut by using minced ginger and garlic from a jar. I get this at the supermarket. That way I do not have to keep the fresh version on hand..
3 tablespoons avocado oil
1/2 of a medium yellow onion diced
1 red bell pepper diced
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/4 cup red Thai curry paste
6 cups beef stock
1 (14 ounce) can full fat coconut milk
3 tablespoons fish sauce
1 1/2 cup shredded cooked beef
4 ounces rice noodles
Juice of one small lime
1/2 cup chopped cilantro, plus more for serving
In a large soup pot heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, bell pepper and carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes or until softened.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, and red curry paste. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the beef broth, coconut milk, and fish sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the cooked beef.
Cook uncovered for 5 minutes. Stir in the noodles and simmer until tender. The cooking time may be longer if using a thicker noodle.
Stir in lime juice and cilantro.
Add additional cilantro as a garnish when serving.
Serves 6
