How to Make Coconut Curry Soup
Coconut Curry Chicken Soup is very straightforward to make, despite the long ingredient list – most of the ingredients are just dumped directly into the soup! Here’s an overview of how to make it (full recipe in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post):
Step 1: Brown the chicken. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and sear in sizzling hot oil just until golden. The chicken will not be cooked through at this point but will be added back to the pot later. Remove the chicken to a plate but leave the drippings behind which are flavor gold.
Step 2: Sauté the aromatics. Add onions and carrots to the drippings and sauté over medium-high heat for a few minutes. Add the red curry paste, ginger, garlic and sauté for 2 minutes or until the onions are softened.
Step 3: Simmer the soup. Add the chicken back to the pot, followed by the chicken broth, coconut milk, diced tomatoes, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, salt, pepper and bay leaf. Cover and gently simmer until the chicken is tender enough to easily shred with two forks.
Step 4: Shred the chicken. Remove the chicken and let it rest until it’s cool enough to shred. Step 5: Cook the rice. Meanwhile, add the bell peppers, mushrooms and rice to the pot. Simmer just until the rice is cooked, about 10 minutes.
Step 6: Add the remaining ingredients. Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the shredded chicken, cilantro, lime juice, and basil.
Step 7: Garnish and serve. Garnish individual servings with cilantro, freshly squeezed lime juice, chili sauce or chili peppers to taste.
This Thai Curry Soup is a meal-in-one full of protein, carbs, and veggies, but we also love it with a fresh, crunchy salad such as Chinese Chicken Salad, Crunchy Asian Salad, Chinese Salad, or Asian Pineapple Salad. You can transform this soup into a feast by serving it with appetizers! We love it with any of the following Asian appetizers, even though most of them aren’t Thai: Tag @CarlsbadCravings and Use #CarlsbadCravngs Leave a Review, I Always Love Hearing From You!
