Notes

Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier broth, or light coconut milk for a lighter version.

Adjust curry powder to your spice preference or try red curry paste for variation.

For added depth, a dash of fish sauce or a splash of lime juice can be stirred into the broth.

Leftovers keep well refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
