Ingredients
1 tbsp vegetable oil
4 Schneiders Original Smokies, sliced diagonally
1 onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp minced or grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp red curry paste
1 tbsp dried makrut lime leaves (optional)
1 tbsp coconut sugar, palm sugar or brown sugar
4 cups chicken broth
1 can (398 mL) coconut milk
2 cups small broccoli florets
4 heads baby Shanghai bok choy, quartered, lengthwise
1 cup very thinly sliced carrot
3 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp Thai fish sauce
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 pkg. (400 g) instant egg noodles or other Asian noodles, prepared according to package directions
Directions
In Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Fry sausage, stirring often, until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove to plate. In same pan, onion, fry garlic, ginger and curry paste until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add sugar, chicken broth and coconut milk to pan; return sausage and any accumulated juices to pan. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add broccoli, bok choy and carrots to pan. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Stir in lime juice and fish sauce. Divide noodles among 4 bowls. Ladle soup over top. Garnish with cilantro
Tips (not mandatory): Makrut lime leaves add a very authentic flavour to this soup. You can buy them in Asian markets and online, but if you make this soup without them, in a pinch, it’ll still be delicious.
Other delicious garnish options include fresh Thai or regular basil, fresh mint, green onions, sliced chilies, fried shallots (available in Asian markets), and bean sprouts.
