I love Thai food, the taste, flavors, spice, it’s just pleasure in a bowl people.
I decided that I could create a spicy, veggie based soup and kick it up with the addition of Thai rice noodles.
I used fresh noodles, but if you decide to use dry, please follow package directions on how to properly cook the noodles.
As you can see I left the seeds.
And by golly, this soup was HOT! I mean Thai Hot number 8, yes, that spicy!
Don’t hesitate to add more broth if you feel you needs to reduce the spiciness of the soup or a little sugar.
I like it hot, I felt like fat was melting away as I was eating it.
Not sure if it was really fat, but it sure was a lot of sweat dripping off my face.
This soup is all that and more, you get to burn fat, eat a filling fat free soup and it’s Thai hot!
Enjoy.

This sounds delicious and I’m so excited to try it! I’ve been looking for a good spicy soup recipe for far too long. Just one question: when you say “red salsa” is that just like any chip & dip type of red salsa I would find in a store, or something different?
Vegan Lisa says
Hello Rebecca, yes, I used store-bought red salsa. Here’s a link

I almost never comment on a recipe, but this one hit it out of the ballpark. This was the best soup I have ever had. I added an extra serrano to make it extra spicy.. This is perfection in a bowl.
Vegan Lisa says
Thanks Stepc I am glad you enjoyed it! With the weather cooling I will start posting more soups!
Kay Neff says
Could you tell me what is red salsa, please? Thanks
Vegan Lisa says
Hello Kay red salsa is a mixture of tomatoes, onion, jalapeno and lime juice with a little cilantro. If I don’t make my salsa from scratch I use organic red salsa like Newman’s Own or the Herdez brand of salsa.
