Equipment

  • Large soup pot
  • Medium frying pan
  • Wooden spoon
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk or fork

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can 14 oz coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 200 g rice noodles or egg noodles
  • Fresh cilantro and sliced red chili for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Sauté The Aromatics

  • In a large soup pot, I start by heating coconut oil over medium heat. Once hot, I sauté the onions until translucent, which usually takes about 4-5 minutes. Then, I add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking them for another minute until fragrant.

Cook The Chicken

  • Next, I add the sliced chicken breasts to the pot, stirring them into the aromatics. I cook the chicken for about 5 minutes until it’s lightly browned on the outside.

Add Spices And Broth

  • Now it's time to sprinkle in the turmeric, cumin, and coriander, mixing well to coat the chicken. The aroma is incredible at this point. Then, I pour in the chicken broth, bring the soup to a simmer, and let it cook for 10 minutes.

Stir In Coconut Milk And Noodles

  • Once the broth is simmering and the chicken is cooked through, I add the coconut milk, fish sauce, and lime juice. I give everything a good stir, then add the noodles. I simmer the soup for another 5-7 minutes until the noodles are tender.

Final Seasoning And Garnish

  • I taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Once it's perfectly balanced, I ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and red chili slices for an extra kick.

Notes

I always suggest adjusting the seasoning based on personal preference. Some people enjoy more lime juice for a tangier taste, while others prefer it with extra coconut milk for a creamier texture. Don't be afraid to make it your own!
