A Quick Soup for Lunch or Dinner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today was grocery shopping day and it took forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a foodie means grocery shopping never involves a quick dash around the grocery store. It also rarely involves one grocery store as I like to go to various different places if I have certain meals or recipes planned for the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time of year is my favourite time for grocery shopping, as there is such a wonderful selection of vegetables, included different types of squash as we move into the fall season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually, when I get home from grocery shopping and get all the food away, I often have produce that needs to be used up, and what better way to use it up than with a deliciously tasty and filling soup that can be ready in minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On hand this week was some carrots and green peppers (homegrown too), so figured they would be perfect in a yummy Thai Noodle Soup <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gluten-Free Noodles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The great thing about a Thai style soup is that generally, they tend to include rice noodles (or regular rice) which of course are a great option for anyone following a gluten-free diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to use the wide rice noodle for my soups, rather than the thin vermicelli varieties. But any rice noodle works perfectly in this soup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing that is worth mentioning however, is that different brands of rice noodles can have different cooking instructions, some taking longer to cook than others. It just means you may need to adjust the cooking time ever so slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light or Full-Fat Coconut Milk?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I use regular canned coconut milk, it just gives a much creamier soup and you really do not need much of it at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When cooking dishes, don't be put off by the calories of certain ingredients. Remember that once divided into portions, you are not looking at a huge amount of calories anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use light coconut milk if you want to, just be aware that the saucy part to the soup is not going to be quite as creamy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the coconut milk for this Thai Coconut Shrimp Noodle Soup, opt for the canned varieties (like Aroy-d, Biona etc), don't use the carton varieties which are more of a drinking coconut milk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homemade Thai Green Curry Paste<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not quite a traditional Thai Green Curry Paste, but it really packs flavour into this soup and was just a combination of some ingredients I had such as<\/p>\n\n\n\n
