Soup Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Spices

    Stir in minced garlic, grated ginger, curry powder, and red chili flakes, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the pot, stirring to coat them in the spice mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is lightly browned.

  4. 4

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Soup

    Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  6. 6

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back into the soup.

  7. 7

    Season the Soup

    Add lime juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.

  8. 8

    Serve and Garnish

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chiffonade cabbage, bean sprouts, chopped cilantro, and fresh mint leaves.
