Easy Thai Chicken Curry Soup
A flavorful Easy Thai Chicken Curry Soup made with coconut milk, ginger, and spices, perfect for a comforting meal.
Equipment
- large pot
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 medium onion, chopped finely
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 heaping tablespoons Thai red curry paste see note
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups water
- Juice of 1 lime
- 3.5 ounces uncooked rice noodles see note
- 1 can (13.5 ounce) full fat coconut milk
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (I used rotisserie)
- Generous handful fresh basil, torn
- Handful fresh cilantro, chopped
- chopped scallions to taste
- salt & pepper to taste
- lime wedges for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Add the olive oil and onion to a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the ginger, garlic, and curry paste, and cook for about 30 seconds.
- Add the broth, water, lime juice, and noodles. Increase heat to high and bring to a gentle boil.
- Stir in the coconut milk and chicken. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the basil, cilantro, and scallions. Season with salt & pepper as needed.
- Serve immediately with an extra wedge of lime on the side if desired.
Notes
The noodles will soak up more liquid the longer you leave the soup. I suggest adding more chicken broth if you need to add more liquid (e.g. reheating leftovers the next day).
