SUPER SPEEDY VEGAN THAI RED CURRY NOODLE SOUP

Thai red curry paste is one of my favourite Asian staples to cook with and I have used it as part of numerous recipes featured on the blog.

Still, I am always on the search of perfecting my Thai red curry broth and this vegan friendly, super speedy Thai Red curry noodle soup with Tofu, green veg and chopped peanuts may just be my new favourite and is ready to serve in less than 30 mins.

All the good stuff in a bowl and the perfect supper for a rainy day.
