Thai Style Red Curry Noodle Soup
I’ve been craving for anything with Thai red curry paste for weeks. In the end, I felt that I needed something comforting like a soup, so I made this Thai Style Red Curry Noodle Soup.
My craving started while I was recovering from my low hemoglobin level. I just woke up one day, the first thought I had was Thai red curry dish – anything as long as it’s with red curry paste. And I forgot about it. Do you ever forget about your cravings and go on with your life??
Few days after, the BFF went home with a soup from a shabu-shabu place. After tasting the soup, I told myself that I need to make the soup I want. So here I am sharing you this superb soup!
This Thai Style Red Curry Noodle Soup is one of the simplest and easiest soup you can make. Simple and easy, but huge on flavor. Imagine red curry paste with coconut milk and peanut butter. I don’t know about you but I love the combination.
I’ve always loved red curry dishes like this Chicken Meatballs in Coconut Curry Sauce, which I need to make again. I always have a bottle or two of red curry paste in the fridge just in case craving strikes anytime.
I wasn’t expecting much from this soup, but when I tasted it the first time, I immediately want to make it again. My bad luck, I finished my red curry paste in this dish. Of course, I bought few small pots (just for “emergency”) as I cannot find anything online.
OMG!!! This Thai Style Red Curry Noodle Soup was incredibly delicious – it has the right balance of everything. It is comforting and satisfying. The soup tastes fantastic you’d want to finish everything all by yourself.

Notes:
- You can use your choice of meat.
- Add as many things you want like luncheon meat, more veggies, anything you fancy.
- You can use the dry noodles from the instant noodles packet.
- Go crazy on the red curry paste – I won’t judge you.
- Enjoy it while it’s hot!
