Thai Curry Noodle Soup
This is one of my favorite recipes from Freaky Friday. That's when a bunch of bloggers
This is the fourth time I've participated in Freaky Friday. Each time the recipes are just so delicious! Nicoise Shrimp Salad, Southwestern Chicken Salad Bowl and an Authentic Posole – Mexican Stew YUM!
Now it was time to check out PicNic's blog! My turn to peruse Nicole's recipes and pick one. Whatever I choose is top secret until it's revealed on the Freaky Friday blog hop!
The first thing I did, was swing by Nicole's About Me page to learn a little bit more. She lives on the tip of New Zealand, loves food and was encouraged by friends and family to start her blog - sounds like we have a lot in common huh (well except for the New Zealand part!)? 😋
I was drawn to the tab for New Zealand recipes. That's where I found delicious recipes and local cuisine.
Ultimately I ended up at the Soup tab where I found her recipe for Spicy Thai Noodle Soup. YUM! That soup was definitely calling my name!

Thai noodles are rice noodles, though if they are hard to find you can substitute with egg noodles or even pasta noodles in a pinch!

What I've found easily available in the grocery store is Thai Kitchen Curry Paste - I'll leave a link for it towards the bottom of the post.
