In the middle of the Arizona desert, steps from majestic rock formations and red dirt trails, I had a nourishing dish at a Thai restaurant. And then, when I got home, I made it again and again. It’s a very simple curry with tons of flavor, fresh ingredients, and it’s quick and easy to make. …
Thai Carrot Soup {quick & easy}
