Pad Thai Soup with Shrimps and Vegetables
Description
The soup starts with simmering chicken stock infused with shallot, grated ginger, sugar, and sliced carrot. Garlic is crushed with sea salt into a chunky paste and added to deepen the savory aroma. Red curry paste spices the broth, complemented by thinly sliced mushrooms for earthiness.
Pad Thai noodles cook briefly in the simmering broth for a tender texture before adding peeled shrimp and bok choy, which cook until just tender. The soup finishes with garnishes of scallions, red chili pepper slices, and a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness. This results in a balanced bowl of spicy, sweet, sour, and savory flavors with fresh seafood and vegetables.
The method develops a well-rounded broth while maintaining the noodles' and vegetables' texture, making it a filling and flavorful variation on traditional Pad Thai served as a soup.
