Thai Curry Chicken Soup

This Thai Curry Chicken Soup is of our favorite healthy and tasty pantry recipes!

I didn’t think I was a huge fan of curry until I made this soup! Adapted from Damn Delicious, this is now a staple in our house! It’s especially useful as a “pantry meal” when you’re relying on items you have stocked in the house! It’s easy to swap out or omit certain things if you’re in a pinch! This is one of the recipes I use my “PERFECT SHREDDED CHICKEN” in.

I start by dicing up an onion and a red bell pepper. I saute that until nice and soft, then add in my garlic paste, ginger paste (super duper shortcut ingredients!!!), curry sauce, chicken stock, coconut milk, pre-made chicken, and simmer!

I actually use this instead of curry paste because it’s PACKED with flavor (and I had it in my pantry)! Similar **HERE**.

These will change your life! Find them **HERE** or in the produce section of your grocery store.

Then I cook up some rice noodles, stir them in, squeeze in fresh lime juice and garnish with cilantro or parsley.

This Thai Curry Chicken Soup is a constant in our meal rotation. It’s an inexpensive dish, yet it’s so flavorful and refreshing! It’s even great in the summer because of its bright flavor profile. I promise you’ll become a fan!
