Description

This one-pot Vegan Thai Curry Coconut Soup with Zoodles is such a delicious, healthy and quick option to have for the upcoming change in season. The red curry paste and fresh ginger add the perfect amount of heat and flavor while the creamy coconut milk smooths everything out! I've added in mushrooms, spiralized red pepper and zucchini noodles to really up the nutritional value and fresh flavor. If you're a fan of Thai food then this vegan, grain-free, paleo and nut-free soup is for you!
