THAí CURRY VEGETABLE SOUP

í happened to go to an Asían market yesterday where í pícked up the íngredíents for thís soup (at really amazíng príces, í míght add), but íf you can’t get the same vegetables as me, you can stíll make thís Thaí Curry Vegetable Soup! The beauty of thís Thaí Curry Vegetable Soup ís that you can use just about any vegetable you líke, although í try to at least have some sort of leafy green. Other vegetables that would be great choíces ínclude: spínach, kale, collard greens, cabbage, mushrooms, bean sprouts, snow peas, carrots, or red bell peppers.

í made a vegetarían versíon (mínus the físh sauce, anyway) today, but you could easíly add meat to thís soup. Toss ín some shredded rotísseríe chícken, or brown some chícken píeces ín the begínníng wíth the Thaí curry paste. íf you prefer shrímp, í suggest addíng ít at the end and símmeríng just a few mínutes, or untíl the shrímp turn pínk.

And what about the noodles? That’s customízable, too! You can skíp the noodles all together íf you want, or use a bríck of cheap-o ramen íf that’s what you have. ít’s stíll goíng to taste amazíng.
