Thai Curry Noodle Soup | Feelin' Whisky

Man oh man, have I been craving comfort food lately. I feel like I’ve written that on here several times, actually. Maybe I’m always craving comfort food, but I can say with absolute certainty that I’ve been wanting it even more lately.

Things have been a little bit rough, but it’s nothing that I can’t handle. I’ve just been stricken with a serious case of the indecisive, directionless post-grad blues, and I’m not really sure where to take my career. They say comparison is the thief of joy, but it’s hard not to compare yourself to others when it seems like everyone but you is absolutely killing it in their chosen fields. And me? Well, I don’t even have a chosen field.

What I’m realizing more and more, though, is that it’s more than okay to not have it all figured out yet.

In fact, it’s okay to have absolutely nothing figured out yet. There’s this insane pressure for us to go to college immediately after high school, declare a major right away and stick with it, graduate in 4 years on the nose, and land an amazing, dream-worthy job before we’re even handed our degree.

The fact of the matter, though, is that this isn’t the case for most people. I changed my major three times before I finally landed on one I wanted to stick with. It took me 5 years with plenty of summer classes to graduate (which still isn’t very long!).

And then, once I finally did graduate, I was left with this residual feeling of what the hell am I even doing? I thought it would go away quickly, but a year and a half later it’s still as strong as ever. I really, truly, madly, deeply don’t know what the hell I’m even doing. With time, I suppose I’ll figure it out.

Until then, at least I have this incredible passion project to give me a sense of purpose. No kidding, this little space keeps me going when I feel like I’m not good enough. Connecting with all of you is the single most rewarding experience I’ve ever had. I love creating and photographing recipes, and I really love talking to all of you down in the comments or over on Instagram. I do this for the community, not just because I love food. So thank you for being a part of my community. I love every single one of you. <3

Thai Curry Noodle Soup | Feelin' Whisky

Now, that’s enough serious life talk for today. Let’s get into this recipe, because she’s a good one.

This Thai Curry Noodle Soup is the answer to all your quick and easy comfort food prayers.

It really could not be simpler. Just cook up some onions, add in all your ~flavor enhancers~, and dump everything else in. Let it simmer till the veggies are softened, then toss in your noodles and a couple extras, and ladle it into bowls. I like to top mine with a shower of red onion, a generous squeeze of lime, and a heaping handful of fresh cilantro.

Thai red curry paste | Feelin' Whisky

This Thai Curry Noodle Soup leans on store-bought Thai red curry paste, which is why it’s so deeply flavorful but comes together in under 30 minutes. I use Thai Kitchen brand, and I’m telling you, this stuff is SO GOOD. You can find it in basically any grocery store and it packs a serious flavor punch. It’s gingery, garlicky, tangy, and a tiny bit spicy. Of course, if you like extra spice, you can drizzle on some sriracha or chili paste before you dig in.

I used tofu in my version of this Thai Curry Noodle Soup because it’s plant-based and ultra-cheap; however, I’m certain it would also be extreeeeemely good with some cooked shrimp or chicken. And if you’re looking to make it vegan? Just omit the fish sauce or sub in some soy sauce or tamari. The world is your oyster. You really can’t go wrong here.

The only way you could go wrong is by not making this soup. So get crackin’. We could all use a little comfort these days.

Thai Curry Noodle Soup with rice noodles and tons of veggies! This 30-minute soup will definitely curb your craving for Thai takeout!

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Category: Main Course, Soup
  • Cuisine: Thai

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, (sliced)
  • 1 medium sweet potato, (peeled and cubed)
  • 3 cloves garlic, (minced)
  • 2-inch knob ginger, (grated)
  • 3 Tbsp Thai red curry paste
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 block firm tofu, (drained, pressed, and cubed)
  • 1/2 Tbsp fish sauce*
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 2 cups baby spinach, (or other dark leafy greens)
  • 4 ounces vermicelli rice noodles
  • Sliced red onion, cilantro, and lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Melt coconut oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add sliced yellow onion and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until soft and translucent.
  2. Add cubed sweet potatoes, minced garlic, grated ginger, and Thai red curry paste. Stir to coat and cook for an additional minute, or until fragrant.
  3. Stir in vegetable stock, coconut milk, and tofu. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are cooked through.
  4. Add fish sauce, maple syrup, baby spinach, and dry rice noodles. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until spinach is wilted and rice noodles are softened. Ladle into bowls and top with sliced red onion, plenty of cilantro, and a generous squeeze of lime.

Notes

  • You can omit the fish sauce to make this vegan, or replace it with soy sauce or tamari.
  • This would also be super delicious with cooked shrimp or chicken instead of tofu!

    Coconut curry is the quickest comfort food out there I think (except for Krispy Kremes of course). And I feel you on the not knowing which direction is best at any given time. I have changed course many times and it’s never fun, but always the best choice in the end.

      Krispy Kremes are definitely number 1 forever and ever. But hopefully this comes in a close second! Thanks for always being a huge supporter, Jo. I so appreciate the words of encouragement.

    This soup looks comforting AF. Although I won’t lie…I don’t know how to use chopsticks! LOL. But really, it looks creamy, a little spicy and delicious! Right up my alley. Definitely putting this on my list to try! Also, thanks for being so vulnerable and transparent about your struggles. I’m right there with you! Love you <3

Ya know when you open up a can of tomato paste jus Ya know when you open up a can of tomato paste just to scoop out one tablespoon? And then you've got a whole can of tomato paste sitting there and you're just like... wtf do I do with this 🙃🤷🏼‍♀️🍅 Well, let me introduce you to these Indian Butter Chickpeas. They're crazy-fast, super delicious, and have the added feature of using an ENTIRE can of tomato paste.

Really missing the farmers market right about now. Really missing the farmers market right about now. My weekly trips to the crowded, colorful marketplace are one of my favorite parts of summer. But at least I can still appreciate the beauty in the small things, like a bunch of asparagus fresh from the ground. Hopefully soon I'll be able to get back to my favorite place ☀️🧺🌾

My favorite part about summer? Cookouts. Most defi My favorite part about summer? Cookouts. Most definitely. Truly, is there anything better than standing barefoot in the grass, beer in hand, with good good smells wafting off the grill and a table filled with side dishes? 🥰🍻☀️ Pretty sure nothing can top that. This summer will undoubtedly look a little different. But I'll still be cooking like it's peak grilling season, and you best believe this Cucumber Orzo Pasta Salad will grace my table QUITE often 👏🏼 This super-simple side packs a whole lot of flavor with a shockingly short ingredients list.
