    Yummy. Try frying a little garlic and fresh chilli in oil for no more than 30 seconds (without browning the garlic) before adding the veges. Then, as others have suggested, a little fish sauce and fresh lime juice after it's taken off the heat before serving. Also, a small handful of fresh bean sprouts, sliced spring onion and/or fresh chopped chilli as a garnish works well too.

    This is just delicious. I double the qty of stock otherwise it's more like a stir fry. The best stir fry veg are the ones with peppers and onions in to give a bit of bite. Made it for friends and family and all enjoy.

    I'm giving this a five star cos it's delicious and quick and satisfying. Perfect mid week/Lazy Saturday night meal. I took advice and added some fish sauce. Will add a touch of lime next time and serve with prawn crackers I think ;))

    Made this a few weeks ago, found it quite nice but not amazing. It was quite spicy which isn't really my thing so next time I'd use less Thai paste. Also it made more of a sauce than a soup. I'll probally use more stock next time.

    I just love this recipe, I use it often, its my comfort food. I always make sure I have coconut milk in the cupboard and raw prawns in the freezer so I am ready for when the mood takes me. I put some chopped coriander on top just before serving, yummy.

    Defo a 5 star tasty dish! Didn't think there was much you could do to improve this dish but I think I may try it out with the red thai paste for a change, see what its like! :-) Would gladly serve this at a dinner party for a superb starter. xx

    I make this all the time now, even sometimes without the prawns for a vegetarian version and it tastes great all the same.

    This was delicious! I used rice noodles (trying to avoid wheat) and added some mussels and a little cooked chicken that I had left over from lunch. I used 300mls of fish stock and 300mls of coconut milk to make it less "coconut". It didn't have much liquid in the finished "soup" but that could have been down to the noodles. Next time I will stick to medium noodles as my hubby wasn't keen on "skinny ones". Very pleased with this recipe though - so quick and easy - and very filling.

    Also added a crushed garlic clove to the veg when stir-frying it.

    Really tasty, I found Thai red curry paste worked really well, plus added a chili while frying the veg at the start. Gave it a good kick! No fish stock - used chicken with a dash of fish sauce. Also served with a squeeze of lime. Awesome!

    Very good soup for winter. However I recommend slightly more than 200ml for the vegetable stock to look like a soup.
