Cooking Steps
• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Peel carrots; halve lengthwise and slice on a diagonal into 1⁄4-inch-thick pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots, scallion whites, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 1-2 minutes. • Stir 1 1⁄2 cups water (3 cups for 4 servings), pho stock concentrates, veggie stock concentrate, chili sauce, and garlic powder into pot with veggies. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender, 2-4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, quarter lime.
• Once pot of water is boiling, add noodles; cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 1-2 minutes. • Drain, then rinse noodles under cold water for 30 seconds.
• Stir spinach, drained noodles, coconut milk, and a big squeeze of lime juice into pot with soup; cook, stirring, until spinach is wilted and soup is simmering, 1-3 minutes. • Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide soup between bowls. Sprinkle with scallion greens and serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Apr 2026- Flavor: Customers love the rich coconut curry flavors and find it surprisingly delicious, though many note it's not actually spicy despite the name.
- Ease of prep: This recipe is praised as super quick and easy to make, coming together in under 30 minutes with minimal effort.
- Suggestions: Cook noodles separately and add just before serving to prevent them from absorbing all the broth. Many recommend adding tofu, chicken, or shrimp for protein, and doubling the water for a more soup-like consistency.
- Leftovers: The noodles absorb the broth when stored, turning leftovers into a thick, gummy pasta dish rather than soup.
- Portions: Some find the servings small for the price and suggest adding extra vegetables or protein to make it more filling.
Reviews from our home cooks
Delicious soup and so easy to make. I really like that the curry wasn't spicy by adding lots of heat but rather adding flavor and warmth. I do find that 1.5 cups of water doesn't make enough broth so I added more like 2.5 cups. It didn't dilute the flavors luckily. I love the easy prep soups but I've been finding they often need more water to make them more soup like.
Absolutely DELISH!! Can't wait to eat this again. We had to add more lime juice (which we had on hand) to get the correct taste, as the lime we received was very small and didn't yield much juice. Also the carrots were very thick and large, and even with a bunch of extra cooking time, the largest pieces did not soften as much as they should have, so I think when making it again I'll aim for 1/8" pieces instead of 1/4". Still, though, it was an amazing dish for a rainy dreary evening! Will just make tweaks next time. Thinner carrots and more lime juice.
LOVE THIS SOUP! Do not be scared by the vegan title because this soup packs a punch flavor wise. Would definitely order this one again.
This is low cal, ramen based and coconut flavored. Man I loved this from the nutritional facts to the taste. I like this kind of coconut curry better than other chicken curry recipes. I think it's mainly bc it's ramen hahah. Good deal.
This is one of my favorite dishes from Hello Fresh! I'm not vegan but there is so much flavor in this dish I get it every time I see it on the menu. Quick and easy!
I loved this soup. Sweet and savory with a hint of coconut was merely excellent
Great unexpected flavor! The lime juice and coconut milk really make this a good soup.
Extremely flavorful. I may add more water and carrots for more soup next time.
Easy to make. Very good. My son who claims he doesn't like carrots said he loved the way they tasted in this dish. He also said it felt like a zesty mac n cheese (vegan style).
Either noodles should be wider, or sauce should be 'stickier' - this ends up being a bit more like coconut curry ramen in its current form, but I think it'd be much better as almost a 'coconut curry alfredo' with thick sauce clinging to wide rice noodles. Also, could definitely use another couple of veggies - potatoes and mushrooms would be ideal.
