Coconut Curry Chicken Soup

The weather is finally cooling down in LA but I still leave the house with a thin long sleeve and start shivering as I walk to my car. I keep forgetting that winter does come by at some point here. But then again it’ll be 90 degrees tomorrow.

Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons red Thai curry paste
  • 2 14-ounce cans coconut milk
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 2 cups shredded chicken breast
  • 8 ounces vermicelli noodles
  • 1 12-ounce package firm tofu, cubed
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice, or more to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish
  • Sliced jalapeños, for garnish
Directions
  1. Heat a large pot to medium high heat. Add curry paste and 1/4 cup coconut milk and whisk until smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in remaining coconut milk, chicken stock and fish sauce.
  2. Add chicken, vermicelli, tofu, bell pepper, snow peas and salt, to taste.
  3. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until noodles have softened, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Stir in lime juice, to taste.
  5. Serve immediately, garnished with green onion and jalapeños, if desired.
