Main Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 heaping tablespoons Thai green curry paste
- 1 (13.5 ounce) can full fat coconut milk

Serving
- Heat oil and aromatics: Add olive oil to a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the grated fresh ginger and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant for about 30 seconds.
- Add broth and curry paste: Pour in the vegetable broth and stir in the Thai green curry paste until dissolved. Increase heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Simmer with coconut milk: Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the coconut milk. Let the soup simmer gently for 2 minutes to blend the flavors.

- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with fresh lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer and creamier soup.
- Adjust the amount of Thai green curry paste to control the spice level.
- Vermicelli noodles cook quickly; avoid overcooking to maintain texture.
- Fresh herbs add brightness, feel free to add more or substitute with mint or Thai basil for different flavor notes.
- For a protein boost, add cooked chicken, tofu, or shrimp before serving.
