Spring Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup

If you are looking for a quick and easy warming meal, nothing beats a delicious noodle soup with plenty of vegetables and broth! So today I am sharing an easy recipe for Thai red curry noodle soup.  It is loaded up with Spring vegetables like baby bok choy, carrots and asparagus, and it is packed with delicious flavor thanks to the curry paste and fresh ginger and garlic.  I add in some coconut milk to make it rich, but still keep it vegan and dairy free.  The noodles I use in the recipe are gluten free as well, so if you are sensitive to gluten you can enjoy this!  This soup only takes less than half an hour and you can have dinner on the table and since it is still chilly outside this is the perfect warming dish to be enjoying.
