Notes
Veggies
For this particular soup I made, I used whatever I had on hand. I used carrots, peas, green beans, onions, and kale. I have also used bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, green onions.
Meat and Starches
You can also use whatever meats and starches you have on hand to make this soup what you want! I used one chicken thigh leftover from our dinner the night before. Chicken is always a safe bet with Thai food in my opinion. Pork and shrimp also taste great with Thai food.
With your starches, any form of rice or potatoes will do. I used Thai Kitchen's vermicelli noodles because they are my favorite. But you can try rice noodles, ramen noodles, rice or potatoes are all good options.
