Hearty milk soup with vermicelli - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute coconut milk with another dairy or non-dairy alternative?

Yes, you can use heavy cream, evaporated milk, or almond milk as alternatives. Adjust thickness with starch if needed.

How can I make this soup vegetarian?

Skip the shrimp and replace them with tofu or mushrooms for a protein-rich vegetarian version.

Can I use a different type of noodle instead of vermicelli?

Absolutely! Rice noodles, thin egg noodles, or even gluten-free pasta work well—just adjust cooking time accordingly.

How long does this soup last in the fridge?

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the shrimp.

Is this soup freezer-friendly?

Yes, but freeze without shrimp for best results. Add fresh shrimp when reheating to avoid rubbery texture.

Can I make this soup spicier?

Add red pepper flakes, chili oil, or minced fresh chili while frying the ginger for heat.

What are some tasty garnishes for this soup?

Try fresh cilantro, scallions, lime wedges, or toasted coconut flakes for extra flavor and texture.

How can I thicken the soup more if it's too thin?

Mix an extra teaspoon of potato starch with cold water and stir it in while simmering.

Can I prepare this soup in advance?

Prep the base ahead, but add noodles and shrimp just before serving to maintain texture.

How do I adjust portions for a larger group?

Double all ingredients except starch—start with 1.5 tbsp, then adjust thickness as needed.
