This recipe came to be one night when I simply put a ton of my favorite veggies and soup bases together. You can change the amount of each ingredient you put in to suit your taste. I truly just threw a bunch of things together and it ended up being delicious. This Veggie Packed Red Curry Egg Drop Soup consists of:
Ingredients
1 Tbsp Butter
1 Medium Onion, chopped
3 cups Broccoli
1 pkg Rice Stick Noodles
1 pkg Cremini Mushrooms, sliced
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
2 Red Bell Peppers, chopped
1-2 Tbsp Thai Red Curry Paste (I love Blue Dragon)
8 cups of Low-Sodium Broth (I used half Mushroom and half Chicken but it’s up to you)
1 lb Shrimp
3 Eggs
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1-2 Tbps Cilantro
2 Limes, cut into wedges
Salt & Pepper to taste
Optional: Red Chili Flakes
Instructions
Prepare rice stick noodles as directed on the packaging, and set to the side.
In a skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Then, add the garlic and allow it to cook until fragrant.
Add in the red curry paste. Use as much as you desire- it depends on the level of spice you are comfortable with. Then, add whichever veggies you chose to use. I added the mushrooms, broccoli and bell peppers, and made sure they were coated with the curry paste. Next time, I may add carrots, peas or even corn, however, I had another soup in mind for those ingredients.
Shrimp doesn’t take long to cook, only a few minutes per side, so I added them in last while still ensuring they were coated with the curry paste. Once the shrimp are cooked, remove from heat.
In a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat, add the broth and soy sauce.
In a small bowl, whisk the three eggs.
Using a whisk or wooden spoon, gently stir the broth clockwise. Add in the whisked eggs slowly while continuing to stir.
Add in the rice noodles and vegetable mixture. Allow the soup to simmer on low to medium-low for about ten minutes and serve.
Serve the soup topped with lime juice, cilantro, and red chili flakes if desired, with salt and pepper to taste.
I’ve been craving Thai soups lately, so here’s another one you can try: Thai Red Curry Shrimp Soup (hmm, I see a recurring theme here).
