Coconut Curry Chicken Soup

Recipe Description

This Coconut Curry Chicken Soup is a delicious way to use up leftover cooked chicken. I don’t think I’ve ever loved a soup more. I really love Thai flavors and this soup has it all – the Thai curry paste (of course!) but also the fish sauce and the lime juice. Lime is one of the cornerstones of Thai cooking and lime juice is present in so many Thai recipes. In this soup, lime juice gives a sharp, sour and zesty flavor that I just love and I’m sure you will too!

This soup couldn’t be easier to whip up – I simply cook off curry paste with some coconut milk. I use a store-bought paste but you can make your own if you have time. Then I make the soup base with more coconut milk, chicken stock and fish sauce. I follow this by adding veggies like snow peas, red pepper and frozen peas but you could add different veggies if you prefer. I love simplicity in the kitchen and this recipe is it – it’s super quick and all the magic happens in one pot so less wash-up too!
