Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup

This is without a doubt my new favourite winter comfort meal. I've always loved Thai dishes anyway, but this takes the top spot for me now. Imagine coming home to this after a long cold day. YUM.

I added a little bit of peanut butter and some chilli oil on top to serve. Two of my absolute favourite things. If you don't like too much spice, feel free to leave this out.
