If you are craving a protein-packed soup full of Asian inspired flavors, such as ginger, chili powder, and sriracha, and coconut, then look no further. This easy-to-make Thai Coconut Chicken Soup recipe can be made quickly and uses many ingredients already found in your spice rack. Fancy equipment and a background in gastronomy are not required to elevate your soup game here. All you need is a knife, maybe a cutting board, and a large heavy pot.
I am a big fan of soups that are bursting with a variety of flavors. Sure, there are some simple bisques that I am fond of, but what I enjoy are soups that have elements of heat, savoriness, and a subtle sweetness all at the same time. There are few soups in my opinion that can accomplish all of those, however, this Thai Coconut Chicken Soup is one that can.
This soup recipe contains many elements of classic Thai recipes, with the addition of some rather common ingredients that you probably already have in your cupboard and refrigerator. You will taste the combination of coconut, and spiciness from the Sriracha. And the basic ingredients including the chicken and celery will leave you feeling full and satisfied.
This is an easy recipe to make, and definitely, one to remember for those cold winter afternoons.
1. In a large, heavy pot, or dutch oven, heat coconut oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté celery, green pepper, and onion until fork-tender.
3. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute, keep stirring and be careful not to burn.
4. Add chicken and sauté until cooked throughout.
5. Add Chili Powder, Ginger Powder, Dried Basil, Salt, Red Curry Powder, Water, and Sriracha to the pot and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
6. Remove from heat, stir in Heavy Whipping Cream and serve.
On the whole, this is a fairly balanced and nutritious recipe. The more organic ingredients with minimal preservatives you can use, the better. This Thai soup is packed with protein and contains many ingredients that have been linked to good cardiovascular health, such as coconut oil.
This recipe is best made and served right away. However, you can make this recipe ahead of time and bring it with you to a potluck party or put it in a Thermos and bring it along for a lunch on-the-go.
This Thai Coconut Chicken Soup recipe can be made and frozen. You will need to thoroughly heat the soup again after thawing it since the coconut oil can turn back to a solid-state.
1. A heavy pot
2. A sharp knife for prep work
