Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. Peel carrots; halve lengthwise and slice on a diagonal into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
  2. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots, scallion whites, curry powder, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 1-2 minutes.
  3. Stir 1½ cups water, pho stock concentrates, veggie stock concentrate, chili sauce and garlic powder into pot with veggies. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender, 2-4 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, quarter lime.
  5. Once pot of water is boiling, add noodles; cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 1-2 minutes. Drain, then rinse noodles under cold water for 30 seconds.
  6. Stir spinach, drained noodles, coconut milk and a big squeeze of lime juice into pot with soup; cook, stirring, until spinach is wilted and soup is simmering, 1-3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Divide soup between bowls. Sprinkle with scallion greens and serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.

Recipe Tips

For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or sliced fresh chili.

If you prefer a thicker broth, use full-fat coconut milk.

Rinsing the noodles after boiling prevents them from getting mushy in the soup.
