Ingredients

Soup Base

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 heaping tablespoons Thai green curry paste
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can full fat coconut milk

Noodles and Herbs

  • 3.5 ounces uncooked vermicelli noodles (see note)
  • Handful of basil, torn
  • Handful of cilantro, torn or chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives (or scallions)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil: Add olive oil to a soup pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Add broth and curry paste: Pour in the vegetable broth and stir in the green curry paste until it dissolves evenly. Increase heat to bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Simmer with coconut milk: Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the coconut milk. Let the soup simmer gently for 2 minutes to combine flavors.
  5. Cook noodles and add herbs: Add the uncooked vermicelli noodles, torn basil, cilantro, chopped chives, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the noodles soften.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier soup texture.
  • Vermicelli noodles cook very quickly; do not overcook to maintain a good texture.
  • Adjust the amount of green curry paste based on your preferred spice level.
  • Fresh herbs like basil and cilantro give the soup a vibrant, fresh flavor—feel free to add more according to taste.
  • Lime wedges add a bright, citrusy finish that's traditional in Thai soups.
