Thai Yellow Curry Noodle Soup
I can never get enough of this creamy soup. It’s so simple to make, it’s completely vegan for a lighter option and the flavors are incredible. This recipe is nostalgic to me because it’s one of the first meals I whipped up when my husband and I moved in together, and since then, it’s a regular in our home. This dish is not your average noodle soup as it’ll satisfy any noodle and curry cravings at the same time!
