Directions:
1. In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil until warm, about 2 minutes. Add the onion and shallot. Cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, and brown sugar. Cook for an additional 2 minutes — until the flavors combine.
2. Add the mushrooms and cook until slightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Add the Thai curry paste, fish sauce, broccoli florets and carrots. Cook for another 2 minutes until the curry paste has dissolved.
3. Add the vegetable stock to the vegetables and bring to a boil. Once the stock is boiling, reduce the heat to low and stir in the coconut milk, coconut cream, and tofu. Simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
4. Add the vermicelli noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are soft. Stir in the lime juice.
5. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the slices of jalapeño, basil, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
