Notes

Adjust the amount of red curry paste to control the level of spice according to your preference.

If you're not strictly vegan, you can add a keto-friendly protein source like tofu or tempeh to increase the protein content of the soup.

Make sure to check the labels on your vegetable broth and red curry paste to ensure they're keto-friendly and free from added sugars.

For a more traditional take, you can add Thai basil leaves or lemongrass for an extra boost of authentic flavor.
