- 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
- 1 bunch green onions finely chopped (6 stalks)
- 4 tablespoon fresh ginger minced (about a 4-inch piece)
- 4 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 4 15- ounce cans coconut milk unsweetened
- 4 cups chicken broth low sodium
- 4 tablespoon fish sauce
- ½ tablespoon sea salt
- 3 cups mushrooms thinly sliced, any type
Heat oil over medium-high in large pot. Add chicken, green onions, ginger, curry paste and garlic and sauté 5 minutes until fragrant.
Add coconut milk, broth, fish sauce and sea salt and bring to a boil.
Lower heat to a simmer, add mushrooms. Cover and cook until chicken is fully cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Enjoy soup on its own or serve over rice noodles.
- Do not Overcook: Simmer gently until the chicken is just cooked through for tender pieces.
- Use Full-Fat Coconut Milk: It creates a creamier texture and richer taste.
- Taste Before Serving: Adjust fish sauce or curry paste to balance salt and spice.
- Layer Your Flavors: Let the onions and garlic cook first so their flavor has time to develop before adding the broth.
