Notes

*Some red curry pastes will have shrimp paste in them. Make sure to check the ingredients label to ensure it’s vegan if needed.

Optionally garnish this soup with some sliced green onions and sesame seeds!

Depending on the salt in the broth you use, and brand of curry paste you use you may need to add a little more curry paste and soy sauce. Taste as you go and adjust accordingly.
