Ingredients
• 1.5 cups broccoli
• 1 small carrot
• ½ red capsicum
• Generous handful baby spinach
• 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter
• 200ml light coconut milk
• 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 300g raw shelled prawns
• 70g dry rice noodles (pad thai style)
To serve:
• Lime juice
• Spring onions
Note: You can replace the prawns with precooked shredded chicken. If using frozen raw prawns, defrost them before cooking.
Instructions:
Begin by preparing the vegetables cut the broccoli into small florets, thinly slice the carrot, and chop half of a red capsicum. Having everything prepped beforehand will make the cooking process much smoother.
In a medium saucepan add the Thai red curry paste, peanut butter, and coconut milk. Whisk everything together over medium heat until well combined and fragrant. This creates a rich and flavourful base for the soup.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. This step allows the flavours to develop and ensures the soup has a good depth of taste.
Add the sliced vegetables raw shelled prawns, and dry rice noodles. Let the ingredients simmer for about five minutes, allowing the prawns to cook through and the noodles to soften.
Once the soup is nearly ready add a generous handful of baby spinach. Let it simmer just until the spinach has wilted, ensuring it retains its vibrant colour and nutrients.
Finally ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with sliced spring onions and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for an extra burst of flavour.
