Looking to beat the chill this winter? Warm up with a big bowl of this Thai-inspired Veggie Coconut Curry Noodle Soup! This wonderful bowl of comfort food is ready in less than 30 minutes!
San Francisco has been super chilly lately and I’m now realizing how much I’m acclimated to the west coast weather! I used to be able to tough out the coldest of winters back on the east coast, but now, as soon as it dips below 70 degrees, I’m bundling up and sipping on warm soup. Winter is soup season and this Veggie Coconut Curry Noodle Soup is just the bowl of comfort food you need on a cold, winter evening!
Veggie Coconut Curry Noodle Soup
One of my go-to soups is this Thai-inspired noodle soup. This family-favorite meal is sweet and spicy and full of veggies! I usually add whatever veggies I have in the fridge, but this time I only had mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, and potatoes on hand. Feel free to add bell peppers, cauliflower, bean sprouts, or whatever you might have in your refrigerator!
What makes this 30 minute comfort food extra special is that I used homemade vegetable broth. To make the broth, I first start collecting vegetable scraps like carrot peels, celery roots, thyme stems, garlic peels, onion peels, and more in a gallon-sized freezer bag. It usually takes me a couple weeks to fill it up so I freeze the bag and add to it throughout the week. Once the bag is full, I dump the veggie scraps out into a large sauce pot, add enough water to cover, and simmer for one to two hours. Then I strain the broth to remove all the veggie scraps and freeze it for later use. It really makes a huge difference in the flavor and you’re getting use out of all your veggie scraps!
Be sure to try out this simple soup and I hope it brings as much comfort to you as it does to me. Stay warm!
