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.

ASIAN COMFORT FOOD (COCONUT-CURRY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP)



Asian Comfort Food (Coconut-Curry Chicken Noodle Soup) image

Chicken is the favoured meat of choice for most Asian soups & a simple, but rich stock is key to success. This curried soup combines them with coconut milk plus simple ingredients & an easy prep to create a tasty soup course (or 1-dish meal at your option). To allow for health issues & pers pref(s), no salt or soy sauce is added to the soup, but soy sauce is served at the table for individual use. The amt of curry paste also allows for pers pref(s). (Times do not include time for meat & stock to cool separately) - Edited to Add: This recipe owes its connection to the featured countries of ZWT-9 to the use of coconut milk which I found to be common to all the countries plus the Thai curry paste ingredient.

COCONUT-CURRY NOODLE SOUP



Coconut-Curry Noodle Soup image

Inspired by Malaysian laksa, a traditional dish of noodles in hot spicy broth, this easy-to-prepare soup gets its complex flavor foundation from store-bought curry paste. It can be topped with cooked chicken (such as the Chicken with Basil and Lime), seafood, or tofu. Try other traditional garnishes, such as scallions, cilantro, chiles, peanuts, or hard-cooked eggs.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 ounces Chinese wheat noodles (mein), or rice noodles
1 tablespoon safflower or peanut oil
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon Thai yellow curry paste (from one 4-ounce jar or can)
4 cups chicken stock
1 can (14 ounces) unsweetened coconut milk
1 lemon
Fresh basil, for garnish
1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Boil noodles according to package directions. Drain, and rinse under cold water. Toss with 1 teaspoon oil.
  • Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook curry paste, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in stock. Raise heat, and bring to a boil. Whisk in coconut milk. Cook until just simmering (do not boil).
  • Cut lemon in half, and squeeze 1 half into saucepan. Cut remaining half into 4 wedges. Divide noodles and soup among 4 bowls. Garnish with basil, cucumber, and lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality curry paste: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for a paste that is made with fresh, flavorful ingredients and has a good balance of heat and spice.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: If you like your soup spicy, add more curry paste or red pepper flakes. If you prefer a milder soup, use less paste or omit the red pepper flakes altogether.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and texture to your soup. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still tender and juicy. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include cilantro, lime wedges, and crispy shallots.

Conclusion:

Curried Chicken Coconut Noodle Soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its creamy coconut broth, tender chicken, and flavorful vegetables, this soup is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
