Recipe Summary Spicy Chicken Thai Soup
Most of the ingredients for this Thai-inspired soup can be found in the supermarket. The red curry paste is spicy, but by controlling the amount of paste you add, you can tailor this to your own threshold of pain.Ingredients | Chicken Thigh Recipes For Kids
2 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
12 ounces fresh white mushrooms, quartered
2 teaspoons red curry paste
3 tablespoons fish sauce
1 lime, juiced
2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk
1 red onion, sliced
½ bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
1 lime, cut into wedges, for serving
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, sliced into rings
Directions
Stir lemon grass, garlic, and ginger together in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Stir in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
Strain chicken broth and set aside. Discard lemon grass, garlic, and ginger.
Heat vegetable oil in a large soup pot over medium heat; Stir in chicken; cook and stir for 5 minutes.
Stir in mushrooms and cook for 5 more minutes.
Stir in red curry paste, fish sauce, and lime juice until combined. Stir in chicken broth and coconut milk; return to a simmer and cook on low for 15 to 20 minutes.
Skim off any excess oil and fat that rises to the top and discard.
Stir red onion into the chicken mixture; cook and stir until onion softens, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and add about 1/2 the cilantro.
Serve with plates of cilantro, lime wedges, and fresh sliced jalapenos.
The only exotic ingredient would be the fresh lemon grass. I've found most large grocery stores do carry it, but if not, you can substitute a few tablespoons of lemon zest.
