Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 medium onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

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 (e.g., rotisserie)

Generous handful fresh basil, torn

Handful fresh cilantro, chopped

Chopped scallions, to taste

Salt & pepper, to taste

Lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add ginger, garlic, and red curry paste. Stir and cook for about 30 seconds to release the flavors.
  • Add broth, water, and lime juice. Stir in rice noodles. Increase heat to high and bring to a gentle boil.
  • Add coconut milk and shredded chicken. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in basil, cilantro, and scallions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side, if desired.

Notes

  • Save time by prepping ingredients while the soup is cooking.
  • Use thicker rice noodles (around 3 mm) for best results.
  • Adjust the amount of curry paste based on spice preference.
  • Add more broth when reheating leftovers as noodles will absorb liquid over time.
