I adore the flavors of Thai food. This soup is very easy and really packs a punch of flavor! When my husband saw me make this the first time he was very skeptical and he loved it.

How To Make thai chicken coconut curry soup

  • Step 1
    Start by prepping your ingredients. Dice chicken into large-ish bite sized pieces. Clean and slice mushrooms Chop cilantro or basil Cut ends of lemon off and with the BACK of your knife bruise the stalks by whacking them several times up and down the stalk.
  • Step 2
    In a dutch oven or large pot add the oil. Saute the mushrooms until they begin to brown, add the chicken and cook until the chicken is no longer pink.
  • Step 3
    Add in the broth and curry paste, stir. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a low simmer. Add the coconut milk. Simmer on low for at least 30 minutes, but as with all soups, the longer it cooks, the more intense the flavor.
