Notes

For a spicier version, you can add more red curry paste or toss in a sliced chili pepper. To enhance the flavor, consider adding a few kaffir lime leaves during cooking and remove them before serving. Adjust the thickness of the soup by adding more or less coconut milk, depending on your preference.
