Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped finely
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 heaping tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups water
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 3.5 ounces uncooked rice noodles
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can full fat coconut milk
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie recommended)

Fresh Herbs and Garnishes

  • Generous handful fresh basil, torn
  • Handful fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Chopped scallions, to taste
  • Lime wedges, for serving (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Add the olive oil and chopped onion to a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
  2. Add Ginger, Garlic, and Curry Paste: Stir in the grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and Thai red curry paste. Cook for about 30 seconds to release the vibrant flavors and aromas.
  3. Add Broth, Water, Lime Juice, and Noodles: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, water, and the juice of one lime. Add the uncooked rice noodles. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a gentle boil.
  4. Incorporate Coconut Milk and Chicken: Stir in the full-fat coconut milk and shredded cooked chicken. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and noodles to soften.
  5. Add Fresh Herbs and Season: Stir in the torn fresh basil, chopped cilantro, and scallions. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting for your preference.
  6. Serve: Serve the soup immediately, with extra lime wedges on the side if desired. Note that the noodles will absorb more liquid the longer the soup sits, so add additional chicken broth when reheating if needed.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful shredded chicken option.
  • Adjust the amount of Thai red curry paste depending on your preferred spice level.
  • For gluten-free, ensure rice noodles and curry paste are certified gluten-free.
  • Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and reheated gently; add broth if soup thickens too much.
  • Fresh herbs are key to achieving authentic Thai flavor and should not be omitted.
