This hearty and flavorful red curry chicken soup is perfect for a cozy meal. Combining tender chicken with aromatic spices and creamy coconut milk, it's both comforting and satisfying.
Ingredients:
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons red curry paste
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup baby spinach leaves
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• Lime wedges (for serving)
• Cooked jasmine rice or rice noodles (optional)
Instructions:
1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
2. Add Curry Paste: Stir in the red curry paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes to release its flavors.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the pot, stirring to coat them with the curry mixture. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned on the outside, about 5 minutes.
4. Add Liquids and Vegetables: Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the sliced red bell pepper and mushrooms, cooking until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, approximately 10 minutes.
5. Season the Soup: Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
6. Add Spinach: Add the baby spinach leaves, stirring until they wilt into the soup.
7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side. For a heartier meal, serve over cooked jasmine rice or with rice noodles.
