Thai Chicken Curry Soup (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Core Ingredients

01 - 1/2 medium onion, diced small
02 - 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
03 - 4 big spoonfuls of Thai red curry paste
04 - 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
05 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Broth, Noodles & Add-Ins

06 - 2 cups plain water
07 - 3.5 ounces dry rice noodles (about 3mm thick)
08 - 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk, full fat
09 - Juice from 1 lime
10 - 4 cups chicken or veggie stock

→ Protein & Garnishes

11 - A large handful of basil leaves, torn roughly
12 - 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works fine)
13 - Salt and black pepper to adjust seasoning
14 - Fresh cilantro, chopped up
15 - Lime wedges on the side for serving
16 - A few scallions, sliced into small pieces

# Instructions:

01 - Heat up the olive oil in your big pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and stir every now and then for about 5 minutes, letting it soften and turn clear.
02 - Stir in the minced garlic, fresh ginger, and curry paste. Let it all cook for roughly 30 seconds, just until the smells really pop.
03 - Add the broth, plain water, and lime juice to the pot. Stir in the dry rice noodles and bring the whole thing to a gentle boil over high heat.
04 - Pour in the coconut milk and mix in the chicken. Drop the heat to medium-low, letting it simmer for 10 minutes so the flavors can mingle.
05 - Mix in your torn basil leaves, cilantro, and scallions. Season it perfectly with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a fresh touch.

# Notes:

01 - Warm and cozy, this soup is great for leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken.
02 - Noodles soak up liquid after a while; add more broth when reheating.
03 - Save time by prepping ingredients while cooking.
