There are a few restaurants where I fall in love with a meal they offer but I just can't be okay with paying so much out of pocket for it to have it regularly. This Thai vegetable soup recipe is one of my favorite soups Noodles & Company ever created, but now I can make it at home and enjoy deliciousness any day of the week! While not identical, it is a great choice that is full of flavor and perfect for a lighter soup that is also super satisfying.
Thai Vegetable Soup
If you are afraid this will be too spicy, as many Thai inspired recipes often are, you are wrong! This soup, is rather mild in flavor, so perfect for someone who is looking for the flavors without the heat. It's a favorite recipe to make year round since it's so loaded with vegetables and not super heavy. I'm sure you too will love how tasty this is and how easy it is to whip up!
What Other Vegetables Could I Add to Thai Soup?
Thai cuisine has tons of amazing fresh vegetables in most recipes. This soup is an excellent addition to your menu that is full of my favorite veggies and those most often found in this soup in restaurants. You can, however, add other vegetables if wanted. Below are a few options I think could fit into this recipe easily.
- Mushrooms (all kinds)
- Bean sprouts
- Green, yellow, or orange bell peppers
- Kale or other greens aside from spinach
- Yellow squash
- Cauliflower
There are tons of other tasty soup options here that you might like as well as this one. For a little smoother option the vegetarian lentil soup with pumpkin is delicious. If you want to add a protein, you might like this meatball and white bean soup with kale instead.
What Goes with Thai Vegetable Soup
In our house, we serve this recipe with a few crunchy wontons, similar to what I would serve with a homemade egg drop soup. You can also serve with rice, wonton dumplings, or just all by itself.
It's not really a recipe I like to add crackers into like I might a chicken noodle soup, but you can if it's your preferred way of eating soup. This is also a good recipe to add shredded chicken or pork to for a little heartier meal if you aren't looking for a strictly vegetarian option.

I just made it and divided up into 5 equal serving in containers, and measured the total serving size and it was a little over 2 cups each - so the total recipe makes about 10 cups total. It's also super yummy!

Good question! To be honest I just separated it into 10 equal servings, probably each about 1-2 cups each. Next time I make it I'll measure more closely, sorry, I'm still new to all the specifics!

How much is a serving size? Sounds delicious!

I love this new website. I have tried a few of your recipes and I love them, because they are so good you forget that you are eating healthy. Most of the time my husband doesn't even know. Thank you so much, this will make putting a menu together much easier.
