Creamy Curry Ramen Soup
Ingredients
- 3-4 carrots
- 1/2 cauliflower
- 2 tsp avocado oil (or oil of choice), divided
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 large yellow onion (or one small onion) diced small
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 inch piece ginger, minced
- 1 1/2 tbsp red curry paste (yellow or green curry paste works too!)
- 4 cups filtered water
- 2 cans coconut milk
- 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp bouillon paste (better than bouillon vegetarian)
- 1 1/2 tbsp jalapeño sauce
- 1 small bunch broccolini, chopped
- 2 heads bok choy, chopped
- Ramen noodles (I used 4, 2 ounce ramen noodle packages, koyo brand)
Toppings
- Limes
- Bunch of cilantro
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Roughly chop the carrots and cut the cauliflower into florets. Place both on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of oil, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and bake for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large pot, heat the remaining oil. Mince the garlic and ginger, and finely chop the onion. Add them to the pot and sauté for 3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
Add the curry paste, water, ground turmeric, soy sauce, and both cans of coconut milk to the pot. Shake the cans before opening and add all contents, as any separation will melt during cooking.
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to incorporate everything. Reduce to a simmer, add the bouillon paste and stir until dissolved, then add the jalapeño sauce and adjust spice to preference.
Chop the bok choy and broccolini if needed, add to the simmering curry, and cook for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender. Turn off heat, taste, and adjust seasonings and spice if needed.
Five minutes before serving, cook the ramen noodles according to package directions. Divide noodles between serving bowls, top with hot curry, baked carrots, and cauliflower, and finish with cilantro and lime.
Tips
Yellow or green curry paste can be substituted for red curry paste.
Adjust the amount of jalapeño sauce based on desired spice level.
Shake coconut milk cans before opening to ensure contents are well mixed.
