This quick and easy soup is the perfect kind of comfort food on a cold winter night!
When Jason and I first started dating over four years ago, he told me that his mom had just been diagnosed with a tumor around one of her intestines. Not knowing how to react or what to do, I simply told him that I would be there for him, but not in a creepy-stalker-overbearing way. After all, it was our very first date.
Because our relationship was so new and so fresh, I felt like Jason couldn’t really share much of his burden with me. But I knew that him and his two older sisters were definitely going through a hell of a time dealing with this. Fortunately, Jason’s mom’s chemo treatment had been a tremendous success and she’s never been healthier to date.
I feel like the word “cancer” is so incredibly terrifying that it becomes very hard to talk about. It’s always a sensitive issue between Jason and I, and most times, I’m not sure how to deal with it, or even talk about it. I’m just so incredibly grateful for all of the familial support that surrounds us.
That being said, I bring you this thai red curry soup today. It was incredibly hard to pick a dish for this event but I finally decided to bring a bowl of my favorite kind of comfort food. With vibrant flavors of red curry, vermicelli noodles and tons of veggies, this will surely become your favorite kind of comfort food too!
