This is my go-to soup when I’m okay with doing a bit more. I mean - it still only takes about 15 minutes to make - but it is more involved than most of my other meals…which isn’t hard because my other meals are 5 minutes in the microwave or air fryer lol. I like to keep that bar REALLY low. The soup base is curry with coconut milk & veggie stock…but then you add in the peanut butter/miso/soy sauce/lime juice combo and it turns into this delicious creamy soup that is loaded with flavor & texture - you can give it some heat, you can add in more veggies…keep it simple…the options are endless. And I am so happy I stumbled on this soup base last year.

Note that this is not necessarily a “macro friendly” meal - and is higher in fat than I would normally go for…but it’s also very filling and delicious - this single serving could also be split in two to be used as PART of a whole meal with some protein and veggies on the side.

Ingredients: (this is a single serving…but is easy to double!)

1/2 can lite coconut milk (approx 6.5oz)
1/2 medium Vidalia onion finely chopped
3-4 garlic cloves minced
1c veggie stock
2T smooth peanut butter
Juice of 1 large lime (or 2T of lime juice)
1T light brown sugar
1T soy sauce
1t miso paste (I used MUSO light sweet miso)
1T curry powder
1/2t turmeric
salt & pepper to taste
drizzle of olive oil for cooking
Pack of ramen noodles
optional add ons: chopped peanuts, shredded carrots, micro greens - like watercress, chives, chili oil, sesame seeds, chicken, shrimp

I know…that’s a lot - BUT IT IS WORTH IT I PROMISE!

Instructions:

Get that pot on the stove to boil water for your noodles (they only take about 3 minutes to cook - so put them in the boiling water a couple minutes after you add the stock & coconut milk to the pan.
Drizzle olive oil in hot pan, and add garlic & onions until browning. Then add curry powder for another few minutes.
Add the veggie stock & coconut milk then simmer to thicken and reduce.
In a large soup bowl - add peanut butter, lime juice, brown sugar, miso paste, soy sauce and 1T hot water - then whisk it all together until combined & smooth.
Add the broth to the soup bowl and stir it together with the peanut sauce in the bottom of the bowl.
Add noodles to the broth, then top with your chosen add-ons.
THAT’S IT FRIENDS!!!
