“The perfect snack for you or the children – ready in minutes”

  • 2 tsps thai curry paste
  • 3 spring onions, roughly chopped
  • 1 large carrot, grated
  • 500 ml vegetable stock
  • 1 handful Frozen Peas
  • 150 g straight to wok noodles

Add the Thai curry paste to a pan and fry over a medium heat for 2 mins, be careful with this, as depending on the curry paste you use, you could end up burning this to the bottom of the pan; it’s also pretty potent stuff, so decide how spicy you want your soup at this point, sometimes less is more.

Stir in the spring onions and grated carrot, then cook for 1 min. Pour in a big mugful of hot vegetable or chicken stock and a handful frozen peas. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 2 mins until the carrot is just cooked. Stir in the sachet of straight-to-wok noodles and heat through. Ladle into a mug or a bowl and scatter with sesame seeds, if you like. Serve straight away.

Notes : I like the fact that I know what’s in it. Try finding an off the shelf soup like this without MSG or questionable additives.

Substitutions : In leu of Straight to wok noodles, because real thick noodles is what you want in this soup (Pictured).  We used Bucatini No.9 pasta. Bucatini is a thick spaghetti that’s hollow, very similar to a straw.
