Thai Coconut Chicken Curry Soup image

Chicken soup soothes the soul (not a scientific fact yet, but it may as well be). In this Thai version, we infuse the broth with coconut milk, fragrant curry paste, fresh ginger, and cilantro to wake up the senses. If you're looking to clear congestion, add a few slices of fresh jalapeno to the stock mixture while it simmers. Remember to saute the chicken just until no longer pink, otherwise the pieces may become tough in the finished soup.

This soup is delicious and so easy to make! I used pre-cooked chicken, which made it even quicker. I will definitely be making this again.

This soup is amazing! I love the combination of flavors. It's a little spicy, but not too much. I served it with rice, and it was the perfect meal.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and always a hit with my family. I usually add some extra vegetables, like carrots and bell peppers, and sometimes I use tofu instead of chicken.

I'm not a big fan of Thai food, but I thought I would give this soup a try. I was pleasantly surprised! It's really good. The flavors are well-balanced, and the chicken is cooked perfectly.

This soup is okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I think it needs more flavor.

This Thai coconut chicken curry soup is phenomenal! The flavors are so rich and complex, and the chicken is cooked to perfection. I served it with jasmine rice, and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.
