N9. Kuay Teaw Nam (Noodle Soup)

Noodle soup, or Kuay Teaw Nam, is one of the poster children of Thai street food. No matter where you are in the country, you can find a shop selling some type of noodle soup near you. There are many, many different kinds of noodle soups in Thailand, ranging from the famous and flavorful boat noodles to the rich curry noodle soup, khao soi. But if you take away all of the particular spices, sauces, and toppings used in other, more elaborate noodle soups, this classic, comforting noodle soup is what you end up with.
