What’s In This Coconut Curry Chicken Soup Recipe?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and instructions.

• Onion, Garlic, Red Bell Pepper, Cilantro, Green Onions
• Coconut Oil: I always keep a few jars of this organic coconut oil on hand, it’s great for cooking and baking. You can also use olive oil instead.
• Chicken Breasts – I used white meat chicken breast, however you could also use boneless skinless chicken thighs too.
• Thai Red Curry Paste – is a great flavor booster to soups, stews, and lentil dishes like this one!  You can also use curry powder which has a great taste. You can also use a curry paste if you have some on hand.
• Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that gets used in our house daily! I love this garlic powder and add it to a lot of recipes that I would use fresh garlic in too.
• Chicken Broth or Chicken Stock
• Fresh Ginger
• Fish Sauce – for a deep salty flavor.
• Coconut Milk: I use unsweetened full-fat can of coconut milk, which I’d definitely recommend over light coconut milk. You could also opt for using canned coconut cream for added richness.
• Red Chili Pepper Flakes: for a little heat! I like to add a few shakes to this recipe to give this dish a nice complex depth of flavor.
• Fresh lime juice

​A Great Recipe for Weeknight Dinners

Thai curries are my go-to for quick weeknight dinners. They cook in one-pot, and are delicious served with rice or noodles. Curries are versatile, and the bold flavors in the broth are great for adding your favorite vegetables and protein to.

This coconut curry soup makes a great appetizer, but is hearty enough as a main dish if you serve with spring rolls or rice. The best part about making a big batch of curry, is that is tastes just as good the next day!
