I LOVE noodle soup, especially with fragrant spices, colorful vegetables, and enticing flavors! You may find a lot of Thai noodle soup recipes made from a store-bought curry paste. However, these curry pastes often come with preservatives, garlic, onion, and chili that can irritate digestion, gut balance, hormonal balance, skin health, and the mind. They can make you easily agitated as well, according to Ayurveda. So, I created this Sweet Thai Noodle Soup recipe so you can make your own tasty, sattvic, balancing version at home from scratch!

This recipe is vegan, nut-free, soy-free, and gluten-free! With delicious Southeast Asian flavors like coriander seed, tamarind, and fennel, all ingredients are plant-based, nothing processed, and are great for balancing Vata, Pitta, and Kapha dosha! This is one of those special recipes that help to balance your digestion no matter what your Ayurvedic body type is!

The Sweet Thai Noodle Soup uses fresh spices which are digestive and help to break down blockages and toxin accumulation, called “ama,” in the body. These spices are agni-stimulators, which means they promote digestive health. Satisfy your taste buds and regulate your digestion with meals like this one!

Recipes like this can help if you want to:

  • Enhance fertility and reproductive health
  • Soothe the nervous system
  • Fight dry or oily skin
  • Balance indigestion and constipation
  • Balance cold and dry emotions such as lethargy and anxiety
  • Balance hormones, especially reproductive system
  • Reduce fatigue and improve energy

Ayurvedic Healing Ingredients

Some of the Ayurvedic energetics of the ingredients in this recipe include:

Coriander Seed

A slightly sweet/bitter spice, it is the seed of the famous cilantro herb. The seed is fragrant and provides a “cooling” effect to the digestive system, which especially helps with Pitta-related ulcers and hyperacidity. It is a diuretic and digestive, beneficial for all body types.

Ginger

This recipe includes both fresh ginger and dry ginger, which actually have different effects on the body. Fresh ginger awakens the digestive fire and increases bodily heat, whereas dry ginger has a cooler, more cleansing effect. The combination of both keeps this recipe balanced for Kapha, Pitta, and Vata types.

Tamarind

A sour pulp extracted from a tropical tree pod. It promotes digestion and also provides grounding for any body instability. Examples include spasms, tremors, irregular digestion, and irregular menses. It helps increase body fluid production such as digestive enzymes, reproductive fluid. It increases blood flow, counteracts anemia, and supports immunity. It helps with the assimilation of nutrients from your food into your deeper tissues as well. It is most beneficial for Vata types and should be used sparingly by Pitta and Kapha.
