Vibrant Ingredients
Because I'm making this recipe in North America, I chose ingredients that are easy to find anywhere. That means it's not fully authentic but an amazing Thai-inspired American Fusion.ย
ย You can look forward to:
- creamy coconut milk
- asparagus, mushrooms, and bell pepper
- slurpy rice noodles
- a rich veggie broth infused with ginger, garlic, and Thai green curry paste
Make it vegan
Thai curry soups taste amazing with tofu! Instead of chicken, youโll want to pan-fry cubed tofu so it's crispy and keeps its shape. Check out this similar recipe using fried tofu for detailed instructions: Thai Curry Soup with Tofu

Description
Amazing one-pot Thai Chicken Soup recipe with coconut milk and green curry spices. Perfect for weeknight dinners. Gluten and dairy free.
Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 1 tablespoonย coconut oil
- 1 pound chicken breast or tenders, cut into bite-sized pieces
Spices:
- 3ย cloves garlic, minced
- 1ย thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 3 tablespoonsย Green Thai Curry paste
For the Soup:
- 3 cupsย (700ย mL) vegetable broth
- 1ย red bell pepper, sliced thinly and halved
- 10 medium cremini mushrooms, quartered
- 10-12 medium asparagus stalks, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 Tbspย (30ย ml) Gluten-free soy sauce orย coconut aminos
- 1 14-ounce can (400 ml) full-fat coconut milk
- 250 grams linguine or stir-fry shaped rice noodles
Toppings
- fresh-squeezed lime juice or wedges
- optional: sriracha or sambal hot sauce
- optional: fresh basil
Instructions
Chicken: Add coconut oil to a large pot on medium heat. When the oil is melted and evenly coats the pan, add chicken. Cook for about 4 minutes, flipping mid-way so the outsides are mostly cooked.
Spices: Add garlic and ginger to the pot with the chicken. Cook, stirring on occasion until the garlic is just beginning to turn golden (2-3 minutes). Add curry paste and cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
Soup: Add broth, bell pepper, mushrooms, asparagus, and gluten-free soy sauce. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes or until asparagus begins to soften, then add coconut milk and rice noodles. Return to simmer for 5-7 minutes until the noodles are al dente. Remove from heat.
Toppings: Serve warm with desired toppings.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. The noodles often absorb the broth making it less soup-like and perfect for carrying with you to work or school!

We tried this recipe on a hurried evening and it was very tasty!
With a picky eater it was great to be able to start with some extra chicken, set some aside and then continue with the rest of the recipe. Its back on the menu for this week too. Thanks, Jamie, for this quick and tasty dinner.
