- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the curry powder, turmeric, and coriander over the chicken, stirring well to coat evenly with the spices.
Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine.
Add the sliced carrots and red bell pepper to the pot.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the vegetables to soften.
Add the noodles to the pot and cook for the recommended time on the package, usually 5-7 minutes, until tender.
Stir in the baby spinach, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Allow the spinach to wilt for 1-2 minutes.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice as desired.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if using.
