Ingredients
Pumpkin Puree – Use my Homemade Pumpkin Puree or Canned Puree.
Noodles – I prefer using egg noodles for this soup, as at home everyone prefers it over other noodles. But you can also go for flat noodles or any other noodles of your choice.
Red Curry Paste – You can either use the homemade red curry paste or the store-bought one, the choice is yours. If you are using the homemade one, it will add a better taste and a more refreshing flavor than the store-bought one.
Stock – I have added the vegetable stock to make a vegetarian recipe, but for the meaty flavor, you can also go for Chicken Stock. Want to make Vegetable Stock at home, then you can find it here – Vegetable Stock Recipe.
Oil – You can use any vegetable oil for this recipe. You can also opt for regular olive oil instead, even it works great in this recipe.
Coconut Milk – To add that coconut flavor and a creamy texture, add in some coconut milk. You will need thin coconut milk for this recipe. If you have the thick one, just add in some water in the same to thin it out.
Sauce – To enhance the flavor a little more, add in fish sauce and soy sauce. These two add a delicious umami flavor, which will take this soup a level higher.
For a vegan version, you can use Tamari Sauce instead of Soy Sauce and Fish Sauce.
Red Chillies – Opt for Thai Red Chillies, if they are available to you. It adds an authentic taste to the soup. But if they are not available, you can go for the regular red chilies.
You can adjust the amount of red chillies as per your taste and spice level.
Kaffir Lime Leaves – This is the most important ingredient. It adds a citrusy flavor that enhances the overall taste of the soup. If you can’t find it, you can go for fresh lemon juice instead.
Peanuts – For that added crunch, you will need some roasted and de-skinned peanuts. Add in a little extra for that yummy crunch and taste.
Others – Other than the above-mentioned ingredients, you will need ginger, palm sugar, lemon juice, and coriander leaves.
You can also use galangal instead of ginger if it is readily available. Do not miss out on coriander leaves, as it adds a beautiful color and freshness in this soup.
You can even add in some pan roasted mushrooms on top while serving.
