Cook the Vegetables
Add the sliced red bell peppers, snap peas, and julienned carrots to the pot. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp. If you’d like to skillet-cook proteins like chicken or tofu beforehand, a Ninja 12-in-1 Smart Double Oven makes this process extra efficient.
Combine Noodles and Finish
Add cooked noodles into the soup. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through. Taste and adjust seasoning with soy sauce or fish sauce as needed. Garnish with fresh basil, cilantro, and lime wedges for that authentic flavor boost.
4. Storage Tips for Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup
Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm on the stove or microwave, adding a splash of coconut milk or broth to maintain creaminess. For longer storage, consider freezing individual portions in freezer-safe containers.
5. Serving Suggestions
Serve this spicy Asian soup hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs and lime wedges. Pair it with a side of healthy stuffed bell peppers or hearty crockpot chicken Parmesan soup for a multi-dish Asian-inspired feast. Adding a refreshing beverage such as iced Thai tea complements the spicy flavor perfectly.
