Author Notes
I made this once to satisfy a cold-induced need for chicken noodle soup. Subtle spice and wonderful flavor made this so much better than the boring stuff I normally eat when sick. The ingredient list is a bit on the lengthy side - but it's full of great flavors: spice, warmth, freshness, and acidity. —Erin Jeanne McDowell

Directions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots, cilantro, and garlic. Cook until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add the coconut milk and chicken stock, and bring to a simmer. If a smoother broth is desired, strain this mixture, pressing the solids to release all liquid, and return the liquid to the pot. Otherwise, let the mixture continue to simmer. Add the red curry, lime zest, and juice.
- In a saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add remaining ingredients (except garnish) and cook until heated through, 3-4 minutes. Add to the broth. Simmer until the mixture has reached desired flavor, and season with salt.
- Stir in the cooked noodles (you can also cook the noodles in the broth, I just happened to have some soba noodles at home already cooked when I made this soup). Ladle into bowls and top with tons of garnishes.

I always have three kinds of hot sauce in my purse. I have a soft spot for making people their favorite dessert, especially if it's wrapped in a pastry crust. My newest cookbook, Savory Baking, came out in Fall of 2022 - is full of recipes to translate a love of baking into recipes for breakfast, dinner, and everything in between!

This soup is incredibly good. The recipe is not complicated but does require many pots and pans although I’ll probably be more efficient second time around. I stuck to the recipe as is and it came out beautifully.

This was excellent! I was in the mood for a clear broth, so I left out the coconut milk, and it was delicious. I also threw in some carrots and found that I liked their crunch even more than the bell peppers. A great change from regular chicken noodle.

My daughter has made this soup several times and loves it. I will have to give it a try!

This soup was phenomenal. Made it last night, both my roomie and my boyfriend are sick, and I had time to get everythign simmering and ready in 45 minutes after work before a workout class, so delicious and even better today for lunch! Thank you thank you! :)

This soup is awesome. It was very easy to make and goes very fast once you are finished chopping everything. I will definitely make it again.
