Thai Chicken Curry Soup (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Essential components

01 - 4 big spoonfuls of red curry paste
02 - A small onion, diced finely
03 - 1 tablespoon of olive oil
04 - A teaspoon of freshly grated ginger
05 - 3 minced garlic cloves

→ Broths, Noodles & Liquids

06 - Juice from a fresh lime
07 - 2 cups plain water
08 - 4 cups of broth (chicken or veggie)
09 - A can (13.5 ounces) of creamy coconut milk
10 - About 3.5 ounces of dry rice noodles (3mm is ideal)

→ Flavorful Toppings & Proteins

11 - Handful of basil leaves, roughly torn
12 - Salt and pepper, adjust to your taste
13 - Cilantro, chopped fresh
14 - Chopped scallions, freshly cut
15 - 2 cups of pre-cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)
16 - Lime slices to serve alongside

# Instructions:

01 - Heat up the olive oil in a big pot over medium heat. Throw in the chopped onion and stir it sometimes for 5 minutes, letting it soften and turn see-through.
02 - Add ginger, garlic, and red curry paste to the pot. Stir it all around for half a minute until the smells are amazing.
03 - Pour in broth, water, lime juice, and drop in the noodles. Turn the heat high and bring everything to a gentle boil.
04 - Mix in the chicken and coconut milk. Keep the heat at medium-low and let it simmer for 10 minutes so the flavors blend together nicely.
05 - Mix in the basil, cilantro, and scallions right before serving. Sprinkle in salt and pepper until it tastes perfect. Dish out right away with lime slices for an extra pop.

# Notes:

01 - This cozy dish is great for making use of leftover or rotisserie chicken.
02 - Noodles will keep soaking up liquid after cooking, so add broth when reheating leftovers.
03 - Save time by cutting ingredients while cooking.
04 - You’ll also find this in the 'Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials' cookbook.
