Instructions

Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat to create a flavorful base for the soup.
Cook the Noodles: While the broth heats, cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions, typically for 4-6 minutes. Once cooked, drain and set aside to use later in the soup.
Combine Coconut Milk and Curry Paste: Add the coconut milk and red curry paste to the simmering broth. Stir thoroughly to fully combine the rich, aromatic flavors.
Sauté Vegetables: In a separate pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the sliced bell pepper and julienned carrots until slightly tender, then add them to the pot with the soup. Allow the soup to simmer for about 10 minutes so the vegetables absorb the curry flavors.
Add Noodles and Finish Soup: Stir the cooked rice noodles into the soup and heat through for 2-3 minutes. Remove the pot from heat, then stir in the lime juice and chopped fresh cilantro for a bright, fresh finish.

Notes

Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian and vegan-friendly soup; chicken broth can be substituted if preferred.
Adjust the amount of red curry paste to control the spice level to your taste.
Rice noodles cook quickly, so keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
Fresh lime juice and cilantro added at the end brighten and enhance the overall flavor.
For extra protein, consider adding tofu or shredded chicken.
