Original GF Paleo Vegetarian

This variation of the spicy shrimp Thai soup has a nontraditional twist with the addition of creamy coconut milk and ramen noodles for substance.
Smarts: Traditional Tom Yum Soup is made with nam prik pao (Thai chili paste), but we’re using red curry paste since it’s a staple in our community members’ kitchens. If you can find nam prik pao at your local Asian market, it has a rich, smoky flavor that is great in this soup (and many other Thai dishes).
