It’s no secret that Thai food is one of my favorites.  Today I made a quick Thai Red Curry Vegetable Noodle Soup which turned out quite delicious and was a good way to use up some veggies in the fridge!

I was in the mood for some of my Thai curried carrot sweet potato soup but was lacking the carrots so I was forced to go a slightly different direction today. For the vegetables in this soup (besides onion and red bell pepper) I added green beans, mushrooms and spinach since that’s what was in my vegetable bin.  You could use any number of vegetables…  be creative and use your favorites!  The only real “work” in throwing this soup together is the chopping of veggies so it’s a really simple, quick meal!
