My Thai Shrimp Soup became such a hit that I knew I needed a chicken version!
I’m all about soups lately with the weather getting colder, and this chicken soup completely satisfied my craving.
You have all the Thai-inspired flavors in an easy to prepare, healthy soup that is hearty enough for a meal.
Let’s get into the details so you can make it ASAP!
What You Need to Make this Thai Chicken Soup
This soup uses simple ingredients that are available at most grocery stores.
Here’s everything you’ll need:
- avocado oil or olive oil
- garlic
- onion
- fresh ginger
- lemongrass
- red curry paste
- chicken bone broth, or broth of your choice
- fish sauce
- full fat coconut milk
- fresh shiitake mushrooms
- cooked shredded chicken breast
- fresh limes
- Sea salt
- Cilantro for garnish
- Scallions for garnish
How to Make this Thai Chicken Soup
Heat the oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until fragrant, then stir in the garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and curry paste and cook for one minute.
Pour the broth into the pot while stirring continually, then stir in the fish sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir, then add the mushrooms. Cook and stir until the mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the shredded chicken and simmer long enough to heat through.
Stir in the lime zest and juice and season with salt. Serve garnished with cilantro sliced green onions.
For a quick chicken soup like this, I like to use store bought rotisserie chicken.
Just make sure to look at the ingredients because some can have sneaky additives!
Otherwise, you can use any cooked chicken you have. I like to bake mine drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper if I’m shredding it to add to recipes.
You can use any preferred cooking method before shredding the chicken, just be careful not to overcook.
I hope you enjoy this soup as much as I did!

Where did you find curry paste that was gluten free? I have looked in my regular grocery stops and can’t find one.
Cristina says
The Thai Kitchen brand is gluten free.
JESSIE FERNANDEZ says
I plan on making this. Can I use Thai red curry sauce. I cannot find red curry paste.

I tweaked it slightly to taste and pressure cooked chicken tenderloins in chicken broth in the instapot, along with all the spices. I added the veggies last. It was delicious!

I have not been able to locate lemon grass at my specialty food stores. Including Trader Joe’s and Sprouts! However, this soup was delicious regardless of not having lemongrass. This is my second time making it and it’s truly the perfect Thai soup for chilly days.

Esta es una sopa de pollo muy sabrosa. Gracias putas en San Justo por compartir recetas con nosotros.

I never leave comments on blogs/social media/anywhere. This recipe was delicious! I was concerned that I would go through the effort and no one in my family would eat it. Boy was I wrong. Everyone gobbled it up and it’s now going to be in our regular rotation. It wasn’t too spicy, and the flavours were fab. Thank you!

This looks delicious! Would it be weird to add brown rice ramen noodles in this?

It was easy and delicious. I do not typically have fish sauce or red curry paste in my pantry, but now I will!
I use Paleo Running Mama religiously and I need help! Figuring out the carbs,the fats,the protiens…..etc.
I’m curious, I use “my fitness pal ” and I was wondering if you will be creating a scan code so it automatically goes to that ap?
Nancy Welch says
If you have all the ingredients handy it is a fast and easy recipe. Nice flavor
