You should cook the carrots until they are tender, which takes about 20 minutes after bringing the mixture to a boil and then reducing the heat to a simmer.

Can I freeze leftover Thai carrot soup?

Yes, you can freeze leftover Thai carrot soup. Allow it to cool completely, then transfer it to airtight containers or freezer bags. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm on the stove.

How can I adjust the spice level in the soup?

To adjust the spice level, you can reduce the amount of red pepper or omit it entirely. If you prefer a spicier soup, consider adding more red pepper or a dash of chili paste.

Cooking Tips:
