Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 shallots (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (finely grated)
- 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste (green also works great)
- 3 cups vegetable stock
- 1.5 tablespoons brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (I use reduced sodium)
- 1 carrot (shredded)
- 1 bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 1 bundle thin egg noodles (3-4 oz; soba noodles or whole wheat spaghetti may be subbed; see *)
- 13.5 oz coconut milk
- 15 oz chickpeas (540 mL; drained and rinsed)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Toppings
- bean sprouts
- cilantro leaves
- lime wedges
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 5 or so minutes, until soft.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook for one minute.
- Add the Thai curry paste and cook, stirring frequently for one minute.
- Add one cup of stock and stir until the curry paste is dissolved, then add the remaining stock, brown sugar, soy sauce, carrot, bell pepper and soba noodles.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until veggies are soft and noodles are cooked through. Stir 2-3 times during this time to help noodles break up and cook through.
- Stir in the coconut milk, lime juice and chickpeas.
- Serve, topping with bean sprouts and cilantro.
Storage
- This soup can be kept in the fridge for up to 24 hours after cooking. Reheat, stirring gently so as not to break the noodles.
- If you keep the noodles separate, this soup can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days and the freezer for up to 3 months.

*soba noodles or rice noodles may be subbed but we preferred the texture of the egg noodles.
