Thai red curry meatballs soup

Thai red curry meatball soup

This Ive made several times and is always loved in the house and it is versatile and modifiable

You can make it thicker and use as a gravy over rice, or can add noodles into the soup , you can make your own red curry paste, but as you know I love thai food so I always have thai spices in my pantry , works out well in quarantine 😜

And I made do with available stuff, I will put some old pics too! And Ive saved in highlights

• Garlic 5 cloves

• 3-4 green onions, chopped,

• 1 inch fresh ginger, grated

• 1/4 tsp salt (add more if you like but they will absorb some from soup)

• 2 Thai red chillies
