COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Coconut Curry Chicken Noodle Soup image

This sweet, spicy and fragrant chicken soup, called curry mee, is a happy contrast of hot broth, springy noodles and a madness of garnishes. Coconut milk has a particular weighty creaminess, called lemak, that can make some curries and soups too rich. Here, a combination of coconut milk and half-and-half is used to balance the broth.

1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Coconut Curry Chicken Noodle Soup image

Spicy coconut broth mixed with noodles and leftover chicken (I like to use rotisserie chicken) is topped with cilantro, red onions, and a squeeze of lime juice. It will be a lot of noodles to broth (it's like a combo of stew and soup) so add less noodles if you want it to be more soupy.
