Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the red curry paste and cook for an additional 1 minute to release its flavors.
Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Stir to blend the flavors.
Add the sliced carrots, red bell pepper, mushrooms, and chopped baby bok choy to the pot. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Carefully add the cubed tofu to the soup, gently stirring to avoid breaking it.
If using rice noodles, prepare them according to package instructions and distribute into serving bowls.
Ladle the hot soup over the noodles (if using) or serve as-is in bowls.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, green onions, and optional red chili slices for extra heat.
Enjoy your vegan Thai spicy soup warm with an extra squeeze of lime if desired!
