Shrimp Pad Thai Soup
My daughter’s and I have a serious love of Pad Thai, so I successfully created a unique recipe for Shrimp Pad Thai Soup for us to share.
Why? Because we also love soup and this is just how my weird foodie mind rolls 😉
All the yumminess of Pad Thai transformed into a big comforting bowl of deliciousness!
How to make Shrimp Pad Thai Soup
First set a large soup pot over medium heat.
Then add some olive oil, a large diced onion, and some shredded carrots.
Season with kosher salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes and cook for 6 to 7 minutes.
Add a good amount of fresh minced garlic and cook another minute or so.
Next add 6 cups of chicken broth.
And an 8 ounce jar of Pad Thai sauce and 3 tablespoons soy sauce.
This is a great home cook hack and eliminates about a thousand ingredients, store bought sauces can be our friend 😉
After this simmers for 8 to 10 minutes we can add in the noodles.
I broke about 5 to 6 ounces of rice noodles into bite size pieces like this.
Add in the noodles and simmer a few more minutes.
Next add some fresh chopped cilantro, soy sauce, sriracha, and lime juice.
These are all pretty traditional Pad Thai ingredients.
I chose to leave out the bean sprouts and egg that typically go into Pad Thai.
Finally add in a pound of medium size shrimp.
And let this simmer for another 4 to 5 minutes.
Taste for seasoning and add more kosher salt, pepper, soy sauce, sriracha… basically whatever you think it needs to make it perfectly perfect for your taste.

I also served mine with more lime and sriracha because I am a bit of a spice freak.
Like chicken noodle soup meets Pad Thai, SO flavorful and delicious!
As with any noodle soup, the noodles will increase in size and soak up the broth the longer it sits.
Which means leftovers may be more of a noodle dish than a soup… but still just as much flavor.
