Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon oil 5 ml
  • 1 medium onion chopped (150 g)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (10 g)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated (10 g)
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste 30 g
  • 2 medium carrots sliced into rounds (130 g)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper chopped (150 g)
  • 1 cup coconut milk unsweetened (240 ml)
  • 4 cups chicken broth 960 ml
  • 1 cup snow peas optional, 65 g
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced (70 g)
  • 4 oz rice noodles 115 g
  • 2 cups cooked turkey shredded (300 g)

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  • Add the red curry paste to the pot. Stir well to combine with the onions, garlic, and ginger, and cook for another 2 minutes to release its flavors.
  • Add the sliced carrots and chopped red bell pepper to the pot. Stir to coat the vegetables in the curry paste and cook for about 3 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and turkey, stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Allow the soup to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • If using, add the snow peas, coconut milk, and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
  • While the soup simmers, cook the wheat noodles according to the package instructions. Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the noodles and cook for the recommended time on the package, usually around 3-5 minutes. Drain the noodles thoroughly and set them aside until ready to serve.
  • Finally, add the prepared noodles to the pot and stir gently to combine. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with fresh cilantro, peanuts, lime wedges, and thinly sliced green onions, if desired.
