This Curry Coconut Noodle Soup is easily one of my favorite WGC recipes! It's quick, aka it comes together in under 15 minutes, it's comforting and it's wildly flavorful!
There's a local Thai restaurant in LA called Jitalda. For those of you who don’t live in LA, it’s easily one of the best Thai restaurants in the city and it’s WAY out there in East Hollywood. It's a trek to make it out there, but it’s worth every minute of fighting traffic. Their menu is extensive and their food will knock your socks off. It's packed with so much flavor and heat, there is absolutely not chance you leave without sweating a little. Their curry noodles are other worldly in my opinion and I crave them on a regular basis during these winter months. The recipe below for Curry Coconut Noodle Soup is a very easy interpretation of their noodles and I'm HOOKED.
I've been making this Curry Coconut Noodle Soup for years and everyone loves it, including my 2 year old (I just skip the Fresno peppers for her as a garnish!)
The base of this Curry Coconut Noodle Soup is an incredible broth that doesn’t take too long to whip up, and then you just load it up rice noodles to soak up some of the sauce and thicken it up and top it with all sorts of herbs to give it that bright finish. And if you want to add some extra protein, you could easily add some shredded rotisserie chicken or poached shrimp to this and call it a day. It's perfection in a bowl, promise!

Hi Gaby!! Can you please tell me the difference between coconut in the can versus getting it in a carton in the milk section. Just trying to figure out which is best to cook with. Thank you!
this recipe calls for the one in the can! The difference is the texture and fat content. Can is far superior in my opinion
