Ingredients

• 8 oz rice noodles
• 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon red curry paste
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 12 oz salmon fillet
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup green onions, chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Spicy Coconut Noodle Soup

1. Start by cooking the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the red curry paste and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring well to combine. Bring to a simmer.
4. Add the salmon fillet to the pot, skin-side down. Cover and poach the salmon for about 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through. Carefully remove the salmon and flake it into bite-sized pieces; set aside.
5. Stir in the soy sauce and lime juice into the broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Add the cooked rice noodles to the pot, stirring to coat them in the broth.
7. Finally, return the flaked salmon to the soup, along with the chopped green onions and cilantro. Stir gently to combine.
8. Serve hot, garnished with extra herbs if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure not to overcook the salmon; it should flake easily but remain moist.
• Adjust the amount of red curry paste based on your spice preference.
• Fresh herbs are key; don’t skip the cilantro for that extra burst of flavor.

Easy Variations

• Swap the salmon for shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
• Add veggies like spinach, bell peppers, or snap peas for extra crunch and nutrition.
• Substitute the rice noodles with whole wheat or gluten-free options.

What to Serve With It

• A side of lime wedges for an extra citrus kick.
• Crispy spring rolls for a satisfying crunch.
• Steamed edamame sprinkled with sea salt.
