Spicy Noodle Soup

by Fraser Reynolds from Tasty High Protein

This high protein soup is packed with rice noodles, bean sprouts and juicy king prawns in a spicy, coconut sauce.

Introduction

I am always looking for ways to make new high protein soups, and this one is a belter! It’s a twist on the popular laksa soup, with fewer calories. Extremely easy to make, this is definitely a top pick for the weekend’s prep work. You can then take the soup to work with you and it’s tasty whether it’s hot or cold.
