Notes
- For the oil, use a wholesome virgin oil variety such as coconut cooking oil or olive oil.
- For the broth, use homemade vegetable broth if possible or gluten-free packet broth.
- The curry paste can be a Thai yellow or red curry paste. You can substitute this with ½ teaspoon turmeric powder + ¼ teaspoon black pepper + ¼ teaspoon red chili powder; however, the taste won't be all the same. I recommend buying those small Thai curry paste sachets because they are cheap, are versatile, and add so much flavor to various meals.
- You can choose to add one or two of the Thai curry pastes to the soup. It depends on how intense you want the soup to taste.
