Creamy Thai Chicken Soup
This cozy coconut chicken soup is a fragrant and comforting meal that comes together quickly in one pot.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so special about a warm bowl of soup on a chilly evening. This Thai style soup is one of my favorite go to recipes because it packs so much flavor into a single pot. You get the perfect balance of creamy coconut milk, zesty lime, and a gentle heat from the red curry paste.
My best tip for this recipe is to make sure you have all your ingredients chopped and ready to go before you start cooking. Because this soup comes together fast, you will want your chicken, veggies, and aromatics prepped and waiting by the stove.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 4 ounces dried rice noodles
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- 2
Add the chicken slices to the pot and cook until they are no longer pink, then remove them and set aside.
- 3
Add the curry paste, ginger, and garlic to the same pot and stir for one minute until it smells fragrant.
- 4
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, then bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.
- 5
Stir in the bell pepper and the rice noodles. Cook for about five minutes or until the noodles are tender.
- 6
Add the cooked chicken back into the pot along with the fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice.
- 7
Stir everything well to combine and heat through before serving with fresh cilantro on top.
💡 Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Keep in mind that the noodles will soak up some of the broth, so you might want to add a splash of extra water or broth when you reheat it. This soup tastes great served with an extra wedge of lime on the side.
