Coconut Curry Chicken Soup
Similar to a Vietnamese pho rice noodle soup, this red curry soup packs big flavor and a bit of heat. The crisp raw vegetables help cool things down. —Monnie Norasing, Mansfield, Texas

Amazing! I have been making this recipe for a few months now, and it is delicious! I have made this as stated as well as adding shrimp twice, and it turns out perfectly every time. Thank you for this delicious recipe!
Thinking of trying this, but was wondering if it freezes well?
This soup is delicious! Wanting to use the ingredients i had on hand, I modified by using one can of coconut milk and one can of coconut cream, a 4oz jar of red curry paste, about 4 cups of homemade broth, roughly chopped mushrooms, 1in freshly grated ginger, and a few shakes of crushed red pepper flakes. I will definitely be making this again.
Barbara, you missed the instructions near the end: "top servings with vegetables, basil and cilantro."
Good but it was missing something. Can't put my finger on it but definitely needed something else - maybe ginger? Salt? More basil and cilantro? Anybody else thinking the same?
I used coconut milk that I buy in the half gallon for my smoothies. It was fine. I cut the brown sugar in half as I don't like sweet HOT food but it was very good.
Excellent. ... I've made this several times since I found this recipe. I can't get over how easy it is to make and how delicious it is. I've added a variety of vegetables to the broth mixture...just to add color. Definitely on my favorite foods to eat list.
There is a lack of instruction. Please check that. Nothing about the vegetables being added. I added the vegetables after adding the spices. I had two spoonfuls of the soup. Ummmmm good!
Hello. Red curry paste is not available in my country. How do i replace it?
My biggest problem with this recipe is HOW CAN I STOP EATING IT??? I halved the recipe, since I'm cooking for myself, and I was doubting whether the five star reviews were for real. I did my best to make the recipe "as is." I used half fish sauce and half soy sauce. I didn't have chicken on hand, so I used some cubes of steak. As is, it is delicious, but then I realized I was missing a ginger flavor which I love, so I added some finely sliced pickled ginger along with the sliced fresh cabbage. So delicious. I also followed one reviewers suggestion to substitute bean sprouts for the noodles. I used 2/3 noodles and 1/3 bean sprouts. However, afterwards I was twirling up noodles and dipping them in the pot of soup, while standing at the kitchen sink. The only reason I stopped eating was to write this review! ??
