Chicken Curry Noodle Soup
This Chicken Curry Noodle Soup is the ultimate comfort food with tender chicken and perfectly cooked noodles in a flavorful coconut milk broth. Made with red curry paste, garlic, and ginger, it has the perfect balance of warmth and spice.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil (or coconut oil)
- 1 lb. Chicken (breast or thighs, cut into bite size pieces)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Onion (finely diced)
- 3 Garlic Cloves * (minced)
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Ginger * (or 1 teaspoon dried ginger)
- 3 Tablespoons Red Curry Paste
- 1 to 2 teaspoons Chili Garlic Sauce
- 3 to 4 cups Chicken Broth
- (1) 14-ounce can Coconut Milk
- 8 to 10 ounces Rice, Udon, Ramen, or Egg Noodles
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
- 1/4 cup Cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add bite-size chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes. Sprinkle in salt and pepper all over the chicken. Stir in garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add red curry paste and chili garlic sauce and stir until coated. Stir in chicken broth and canned coconut milk. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Cook your noodles. The noodles can be cooked in the soup or in a pot of boiling water and then added to the soup. This will depend on the package instructions. Cook just until tender. Add to the soup.
- If using rotisserie chicken, wait and add it during the final 5 minutes to warm through.
- Turn off the heat or turn the heat to low and stir in fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro. Add more chili garlic sauce or salt and pepper, if needed.
Notes
I like to use the garlic and ginger cubes found in the freezer section at the grocery store (often found at Trader Joe's). They are such a timesaver!
I use the Huy Fong Chili Garlic Sauce, found in the Asian section at your local grocery store.
