Pad Thai Soup Recipe
This delicious Pad Thai Soup takes all the flavors you love in Pad Thai and puts them into a tummy-warming soup the whole family will love.
I have had Pad Thai once in my life. I worked at a hotel restaurant running food for room service. The restaurant (and the hotel) were brand new and they were still testing out a few new dishes on a regular basis. When they did, the staff got to taste them, and one of them was Pad Thai.
I have never forgotten how good it was. The only reason I didn’t eat it there again was because they were charging an obscene amount for a plateful. I can tell you that hotel workers do not earn a lot of money. So the Pad Thai quickly became a distant memory, albeit a delicious one.
Recently, I ran across some brown rice pad thai noodles at Whole Foods. I couldn’t believe my luck! So I grabbed a box and went straight home and got to work. But I knew that Mini Chef wanted soup for dinner, so I had to compromise by making Pad Thai Soup. It was scrumptious!
I think it was a bit salty for Mini Chef’s palate, but my palate did just fine. It is a bit high in sodium, but there is really no way around that that I could find. I just balanced it out with my sodium intake for the rest of the day and did just fine. I’ll post photos of the noodle and fish sauce brands I found that were clean. See below the recipe.
Brands I Used
Please note, I was not compensated to mention these brands. They were simply the items I found at the store and used.

How can I pin your recipes onto my good recipes board at Pinterest ?
Noreen – You can either install their pin it button into your browser toolbar, or you can hover over the image that pops up over my images when you do. I think the issue you are having is that it takes a few moments for the button to pop up. I’m currently looking for a new option and hope to have that up soon.
