Ingredients
  

  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 8 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 stalk lemongrass, cut into thirds and smashed with a meat pounder
  • 2 thai birds eye chilis, minced
  • 2 inch knob of ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1/3 cup almond butter
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1-2 chicken breasts, cut into small pieces (optional)
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash

Toppings of choice

  • enoki mushrooms
  • soft boiled egg
  • chopped spinach
  • sweet corn
  • bamboo shoots
  • lime
  • chili oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut spaghetti squash into rounds and place on parchment paper. Season with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place in oven for 30 minutes.
  • Heat a large pot over medium heat with 1 tbsp coconut oil. Cook chicken until no longer pink and set aside.
  • In the same pot, add another tbsp of coconut oil, then add onions and cook until translucent. Add garlic, lemongrass, chilis, ginger, and curry paste and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add almond butter, fish sauce and chicken broth and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes. Add the coconut milk in the last 5 minutes of cooking to heat through.
  • Once the spaghetti squash is done roasting, remove from oven until cool enough to handle. Scrape out noods.
  • Place one serving of noods into a bowl and spoon soup over top. Top with your toppings of choice! I chose a soft boiled egg, fresh enoki mushrooms, corn, bamboo shoots, spinach, a squeeze of lime and chili oil. Enjoy!
