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.
