Instructions

Sauté Onions: Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add Garlic and Curry Paste: Stir in the minced garlic and Thai red curry paste, cooking for 30 seconds to release the aromas and blend the flavors.
Add Broth and Main Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth, water, and lime juice. Add the cooked turkey, rice noodles, and chopped red bell pepper. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
Simmer with Coconut Milk: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the full-fat coconut milk and let the soup simmer gently for 10 minutes to meld all the flavors.
Add Fresh Herbs and Season: Stir in the fresh basil, cilantro, and scallions. Season the soup generously with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for added freshness.

Notes

Use full-fat coconut milk for a rich and creamy soup base.
Rice noodles cook quickly in the hot broth; do not overcook to avoid sogginess.
Adjust the amount of Thai red curry paste according to your preferred spice level.
Fresh herbs like basil, cilantro, and scallions add brightness and texture to the soup.
