In a sizable saucepan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and sauté until softened and translucent, around 4-5 minutes.
Incorporate the minced garlic and grated turmeric, cooking for an additional minute until aromatic.
Mix in the red curry paste and allow it to cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently to blend the flavors.
Gradually add the vegetable stock and coconut cream, then mix in the tamari sauce and maple syrup. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Toss in the yellow bell pepper and snow peas, allowing the soup to simmer for approximately 6 minutes until the veggies are vibrant and tender.
While the soup simmers, prepare the rice vermicelli according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
Once the vegetables reach the desired tenderness, fold in the cooked vermicelli and baby kale. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the kale is wilted and tender.
Take the pot off the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the soup hot, adorned with fresh basil leaves and chopped chives for a burst of flavor.
