Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or other neutral oil
  • ½ large onion diced
  • 1 carrot thinly sliced
  • 1-2 red Thai chilies omit for less spicy soup
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger finely grated
  • 2-3 tablespoons red Thai curry paste
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 can water chestnuts slivered
  • 1 head broccoli cut small
  • 2-3 packages ramen noodles about 3.5 oz each, discard spice packets
  • green onion sliced, for garnish, optional
  • cilantro for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add coconut oil, onions, carrot, and red Thai chilies, and cook for about 5 minutes or so, or until onions have softened.
  • Add the garlic, ginger and curry paste. Cook for one minute or so to cook the curry paste.
  • Add the coconut milk, chicken stock, lime juice and fish sauce. Bring to a boil.
  • Add the broccoli, water chestnuts, and the noodles. Turn the heat down and maintain a rapid simmer (not quite boiling) and cook until noodles are done about 4-5 minutes.
  • Serve hot with green onions and cilantro on top, optional.

Notes

Notes – For a less spicy soup, use only one Thai chili or omit them and use a Thai curry paste that is lower in spice.
Substitutions – Swap out the broccoli and carrot for other vegetables like mushrooms, bell pepper or try bamboo shoots or baby corn in place of the water chestnuts. You could swap the chicken stock for vegetable stock I'm sure but I haven't tried it. Use whatever noodles are you favorite, just give them enough time to cook. Add a protein like tofu or chicken if you like.
Storage – Storing the noodles in the soup can result in them soaking up quite a bit of liquid. Add more liquid when reheating, if necessary. If you make the noodles separately you could store these in the fridge in their own container for about 3-5 days.
