Soup season isn’t over yet, in fact I think it is just now ramping up! January and February are usually some of the colder months up here in Washington, so soup is a must! I love a good red curry and noodle soup, but sometimes I just don’t feel like going out to eat. This delicious recipe is so easy to make in the comfort of your home and is just as good as what you can get at a restaurant! You can omit the shrimp for a 100% vegetarian version, or swap it for some tofu. This soup seriously is some of the best – warm and comforting. It has a hint of coconut flavor from the coconut milk and a bit of spice from the red curry best. The lime juice helps brighten up the dish with a tang. There really isn’t anything else you would want in a dish, this will also fill you up without leaving you feeling bleh. If you are looking for a delicious soup to mix it up from the typical chicken noodle or tomato, this is a great one to try!
