    Now that Halloween is over and the weather has gotten colder, we have been craving soup more often. We live in Montreal, Canada, and if you have ever visited during winter time, well you would know that we get a lot (A LOT) of snow. It's not even December yet and there's about 5 cm of snow outside my window. This year, winter has come fast and strong. It is also getting dark very early (today, the sunset was at 4:18PM, how depressing?!), so when we get home after work, we like to have a quick and comforting meal.

    For this Spicy Red Curry and Coconut noodle soup, you need very few ingredients and you can add any toppings you have in your fridge! For the broth, we used a red curry paste (exactly this one) that we found at our local asian supermarket. The paste we bought is pretty spicy, so I would strongly suggest using only 1 tbsp if you rarely eat spicy food, but for our recipe, we used 2 and it was perfect for our taste. As for the coconut part, we used coconut cream(similar to this one) because we wanted to make our broth creamier and more rich, but if you only have coconut milk in hand, feel free to use that instead.

    We used glass vermicelli noodles (also called cellophane noodles) for this recipe because we like their chewy texture, but really you could use regular vermicelli noodles. The difference between the two is that the glass one stays transparent when cooked and are made out of mung means, as opposed to regular vermicelli noodles that are made out of rice and becomes opaque when cooked. Tips for the recipe - cook the vermicelli noodles separately. This will prevent the noodles to drink all of your broth.

    For the garnish, we added cremini mushroom, tomatoes, cilantro, green onions, red onion, chop suey, tofu puff and jalapeño. However, the broth is really the star of the show in this recipe, so you can any ingredient you prefer/have on hand in your fridge.
