A creamy chicken soup with the warm flavor of Thai red curry and a crunch of water chestnuts.
This soup has tender chicken, a wonder flavor, and cooks up quite quickly.
To Make Red Curry Chicken Soup you will need:
- boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- avocado oil
- salt
- black pepper
- garlic
- fresh ginger
- Thai red curry paste
- chicken broth
- water chestnuts
- coconut aminos
- sriracha
- coconut sugar
- coconut oil
- cilantro
- coconut milk
- limes
- soup pot (Dutch oven)
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
- cutting board
To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place some boneless, skinless chicken breasts on it.
Brush the chicken with the avocado oil and sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
Bake the chicken until it is cooked through, about 30-40 minutes or until it reads 165°(F) with a meat thermometer.
When the chicken is almost done baking, heat the coconut oil in a Dutch oven or other large soup pot over medium heat.
Add in minced garlic and freshly grated ginger and cook for just a minute, until it is fragrant.
Add in Thai red curry paste and cook for one minute.
Pour in chicken broth and stir it together. Heat the broth to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
When your chicken is finished baking, carefully shred it on a cutting board.
Add the shredded chicken to the soup along with the coconut aminos, sriracha, water chestnuts, cilantro, and coconut sugar. Cook it together for 2-3 minutes.
Add in coconut milk and the juice of a lime. Heat the soup through.
Serve the soup with additional lime wedges for garnish. (optional)
Enjoy.
Recipe Tips:
The chicken can be cooked ahead of time to make this a very quick meal for a busy day.
Another short cut is to use rotisserie chicken from your grocery store.
Chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breasts if you wish.
Try adding bamboo shoots to this as well.

This was delicious. I used toasted sesame oil to brown my chicken in before sauteing my veggies. Thanks for sharing such a delicious post.
