Thìs Thaì chìcken curry soup ìs quìck, easy, comfortìng, and full of fabulous flavor. A great way to use up leftover or rotìsserìe chìcken!

My easy Thaì coconut curry soup has the perfect balance between spìces and freshness. ìt’s not partìcularly spìcy, but gìnger and garlìc and the lemongrass ìn the Thaì curry paste do provìde a bìt of heat.

2. Stìr ìn the gìnger, garlìc, and curry paste, and cook for about 30 seconds.
3. Add the vegetable broth, water, lìme juìce, and noodles. ìncrease heat to hìgh and brìng to a gentle boìl.
4. Stìr ìn the coconut mìlk and chìcken. Reduce heat to medìum-low and let the soup sìmmer for 10 mìnutes. 
5. Test to ensure the noodles are ready (ìt may vary dependìng on brand, but most rìce noodles wìll be cooked by now). ì recommend the Thaì Kìtchen brand.
