Coconut Curry Chicken Soup

On the Menu Tonight – Coconut Curry Chicken Soup!

Today was definitely a soup kind of day, cloudy, chilly, and gloomy. To warm up, I decided to make this Thai inspired chicken soup. I made a similar coconut chicken soup a while back, but it didn’t have curry in it. This soup has three types of curry, red, yellow, and green. It sounds like it would be spicy, but it wasn’t hot at all – despite the red pepper flakes I added. If you wanted to spice it up, you could add some jalapeno, and / or some Thai chilies.

While this soup was great as I made it, you could also serve it over rice or noodles. I hope the next time you want to make a pot of soup, you will try my Coconut Curry Chicken Soup!
