Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, shredded or diced
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 4 oz rice noodles (thin or medium width)
  • 2 tbsp yellow curry powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
  • Juice of 1 large lime
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken and veggies: cut chicken into bite-sized pieces or shred cooked chicken. Slice red bell pepper and julienne carrot. Mince garlic and grate ginger. (About 10 minutes)
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle in curry powder and toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until aromatic.
  4. Add chicken pieces, stirring to coat with spices. Cook 3-4 minutes until lightly browned but not fully cooked.
  5. Add bell pepper and carrot, cook 2 more minutes to soften slightly.
  6. Pour in coconut milk and chicken broth. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
  7. While soup simmers, cook rice noodles according to package instructions (3-5 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water.
  8. Stir fish sauce (if using), brown sugar, and lime juice into the soup. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  9. To serve, place cooked rice noodles in bowls and ladle hot soup over them. Garnish with cilantro and green onions.

Notes

Toast curry powder before adding liquids to deepen flavor. Rinse rice noodles under cold water immediately after cooking to prevent mushiness. Add lime juice at the end off heat to keep brightness and prevent curdling. If soup thickens when reheated, add broth or water to loosen. For extra creaminess, stir in coconut cream or plain yogurt before serving.
