Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add noodles and herbs: Stir in the uncooked vermicelli noodles along with basil, cilantro, chopped chives, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the noodles are softened.
  5. 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.
