Thai Red Curry Chicken & Rice Soup


There’s a local grocery store near me that has an extensive take-out selection. On the day I tried their Thai Red Curry Soup I was on a mission to recreate it. Sadly, this isn’t it (I think theirs used shrimp too). But, my husband thought this was off-the-charts and gave me a speech about how much he appreciates my cooking, so I’d say it’s good enough in its own right!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 1-2 Tbsp red curry paste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp ginger, minced
  • 3 c chicken stock
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 6 oz chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 1 c white rice, cooked
  • 1/2 c frozen peas
  • 2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime

Directions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add red curry paste, garlic and ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the chicken stock, coconut milk, shredded chicken, white rice and frozen peas. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Add the fresh basil and lime juice.
