Coconut-Curry Noodle Soup image

Inspired by Malaysian laksa, a traditional dish of noodles in hot spicy broth, this easy-to-prepare soup gets its complex flavor foundation from store-bought curry paste. It can be topped with cooked chicken (such as the Chicken with Basil and Lime), seafood, or tofu. Try other traditional garnishes, such as scallions, cilantro, chiles, peanuts, or hard-cooked eggs.

The soup was too watery. I would recommend using less broth or adding more vegetables to thicken it up.

The soup was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

I found this soup to be a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less curry powder if you don't like spicy food.
