• 1 (14.5-oz)  unsweetened coconut milk( canned)
• 1/4 c. low-sodium soy sauce
• 3 tbsp. creamy natural peanut butter
• 4 c. low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
• 2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
• 8 cilantro sprigs
• 1 c. Thai or regular basil leaves
• 1 c. unsalted roasted peanuts

Step by step guide 

Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the mushroom until golden brown, for about 8-10 minutes. Add ⅛ tablespoon salt as seasoning. Transfer mushrooms onto a plate.

During it, boil the water in the medium pot and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of salt and stir. Add noodles and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until smooth. Shift noodles in a medium bowl and toss with 1 tbsp oil, set it aside.

In a same large pot, heat the remaining olive oil 2 tbsp over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger and curry paste and cook until fragrant  for 1 minute. Add milk, peanut butter and soy sauce until combined, stir occasionally.  Stir in broth or over high heat and bring a boil. Add a bell pepper, lower the heat and boil until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the lime juice and mushroom and stir. 

Divide the noodles in each bowl. Add the peanut broth and veggies over. Top with cilantro, peanuts and basil. 

Is this soup spicy?

No, it’s not a spicy soup, the heat of the curry paste is balanced with the peanut butter and coconut milk. As a result of it we get broth that is full of warming spices and aromatic, but not spicy.  

Why should we cook the noodles separately?

When we cook the noodles in the soup broth they absorb all the broth and result in a pot full of creamy noodles, that is not soup. Pre-cook them in a salty water and add the noodles at the time of serving. In this way your noodles will be seasoned perfectly and cooked and your soup will stay soupy!

Why did we use low sodium broth in this soup?

Soy sauce is salty, and most of the peanut butter also has salt as well. In this recipe when the salt comes from other ingredients so ist better to control the salt. The use of low sodium broth means that we can control our seasoning overall in a better way. 

Storage process 

You can store your leftover soup. Let the soup cool down, convert it in an airtight container and put it in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. But keep in mind to freeze the soup without noodles. Cook noodles separately and add them at the time of serving.
