Thai soups r always delicious, i have seen this soup in a Thai cookbook, this soup was quite bit spicy n very delicious, also creamy coz of coconut milk, initially the original recipe is with shrimps and vegetables, i skipped as usual the shrimps in this soup ..Its kinda hard to find out vegetarian recipes in thai cuisine, sometime we will be happy to see vegetarian dishes but the ingredients they used to prepare that particular dish will contain either fish sauce r shrimp paste, i hardly came across vegetarian recipes, needless to say that i skipped the meat r seafood they used to prepare thai dishes.. .this spicy glass noodle soup will be very prefect while its very cold and this spicy glass noodle soup goes to
