What Makes this Thai Chicken Soup Recipe So Special?

I love all the authentic Thai flavours in this soup. It’s an easy soup with sweet potatoes and peppers for sweetness, chillies for spice, and more.

Garlic, shallots, ginger, coconut broth, lime juice, and fresh basil are used in many Thai recipes. These aromatic ingredients have a natural affinity with one another. I wouldn’t change a thing in this hearty Thai recipe with chicken.

How to Make Thai Chicken Sweet Potato Soup

This hearty Thai recipe with chicken isn’t tricky to make at all. You need to sauté some chopped chicken in coconut oil. Add garlic, ginger and shallot. Red curry and turmeric are next into the mix, followed by sweet potato.

By this point your kitchen will be smelling pretty amazing! Chicken broth, coconut milk, soy sauce, and lime juice are the next ingredients into the pot. Bell peppers and rice noodles are added near the end of the cooking time.

Cilantro, lime slices and chillies make a great garnish for a Thai chicken soup recipe. And that’s in! It’s basically a question of just adding ingredients to a pot in the right order and nothing more difficult than that.

The bell peppers will still have a slight crunch to contrast with the soft ingredients. The chilli will tingle on your lips and the soup will have incredible flavours in every mouthful.

This soup with red curry and coconut serves eight people. Since most of those people will want a second helping, I recommend making extra!

How Long with Thai Coconut Chicken Soup Keep?

If you have any leftover red curry chicken soup, it will keep for up to four days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Dairy-based soups don’t keep as long because of the dairy component.

You might be wondering whether you can freeze it. Dairy-based soups don’t usually freeze well because they will ‘separate’ upon thawing. Since we are using coconut milk in this Thai chicken soup recipe, you shouldn’t have that issue. It might separate a little but you can give it a good stir while reheating it in a pan to mix everything up again.

Added Too Much Spice? How to Rescue Your Soup!

We’ve all done it. Added a little too much chilli powder or fresh chilli to a recipe, tasted a little and thought ‘wooooaahhhh!!!!’ Can you rescue an overly hot soup with sweet potatoes and peppers though?

There are different ways to make this hearty Thai recipe with chicken milder. One method is to add a bit more of the non-spicy ingredients.

Another method is to add extra lime juice, since acid counteracts the flavour a bit. Adding a little more coconut milk or some coconut cream would also help, as would a pinch of sugar.

What’s Good to Serve with Thai Soup?
