How to Make Thai Chicken Curry Soup
The Thai red curry soup comes together quickly and easily. Here’s an overview of the cooking process:
Tips for Making Thai Curry Soup with Chicken
Cooking the chicken: Note that when you initially add the diced chicken to the pot, you are NOT cooking it all the way through. You’re simply searing it (adds flavor!) and then it will finish cooking in the broth. Extra protein: If desired, add garbanzo beans for some extra protein. At that point it’s very reminiscent of this Sweet Potato and Chickpea Coconut Curry, which is a personal favorite. Taste before serving: Always taste your soups before serving them. If the soup seems at all weak in flavor or like it’s missing something, it’s likely lime juice or salt.
