Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 heaping tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2 cups water
  • Juice of one lime
  • 100 grams uncooked rice noodles
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk (13.5 ounces)
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (e.g., rotisserie)
  • Generous handful fresh torn basil
  • Handful chopped fresh cilantro
  • Chopped green onions, to taste
  • Salt and pepper, as desired
  • Optional: lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  • Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
  • Add Curry Paste and Spices: Stir in grated ginger, minced garlic, and curry paste. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until the mixture becomes fragrant.
  • Add Broth and Noodles: Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, water, and lime juice. Add the rice noodles, then increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  • Simmer with Coconut Milk and Chicken: Stir in the coconut milk and add the shredded chicken. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  • Add Fresh Herbs and Season: Mix in fresh basil, cilantro, and chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve and Garnish: Serve the soup hot, garnished with optional lime wedges for an extra zing.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, increase the amount of curry paste or add a small chopped chili.
  • This soup pairs beautifully with additional garnishes like sliced jalapeños or a dollop of yogurt.
