- Turn the heat off and stir in the basil leaves and chili-garlic sauce. Serve with jasmine rice and tomato chunks.
Notes
Store Thai Red Curry Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator; it will stay good for up to 3-4 days. To freeze, store in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
For reheating, thaw overnight in the fridge if frozen, then warm it on the stove over medium heat until heated through. Avoid boiling vigorously, as this can affect the texture of the vegetables and meat. It's best to add fresh basil after reheating to retain its flavor and aroma.
