Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb Chicken Breast, diced
Liquids
- 1 can Coconut Milk
- 4 cups Chicken Broth
- 2 tbsp Lime Juice
Flavoring
- 3 tbsp Red Curry Paste
- 1 tbsp Fish Sauce
Vegetables
- 1 Bell Pepper, chopped
- 2 Carrots, sliced
- 2 cups Spinach
Herbs
- 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by dicing the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, and chop your vegetables to ensure even cooking. Having everything prepped makes the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
- Sauté the Chicken: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté until they are lightly browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. This step seals in the flavors of the chicken.
- Add the Curry Paste: Stir in the red curry paste, allowing it to cook for about a minute until it becomes fragrant. This will help release its essential oils, deepening the flavor of the soup.
- Incorporate Coconut Milk and Broth: Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Add Vegetables: Once the soup is simmering, add the chopped vegetables. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant and crisp.
- Final Touches: Finish with a splash of lime juice and a drizzle of fish sauce, stirring to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, then remove from heat.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh herbs and vegetables enhance the flavor and aroma of the soup.
- Adjust Spice Level: Modify the amount of curry paste to suit your heat preference.
- Let It Rest: Allow the soup to sit for a few minutes before serving for the flavors to develop further.
- Top Generously: Don’t skimp on garnishes like cilantro and lime for an extra flavor boost.
- Experiment: Feel free to try different proteins or vegetables for a unique twist each time.
