Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast
• 14 fl oz coconut milk
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 tbsp fish sauce
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tbsp ginger
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp red curry paste
• 1 medium bell pepper
• 8 oz mushrooms
• 2 stalks green onions
• 0.25 cup cilantro
• 1 tbsp avocado oil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips. This will help them cook quickly and evenly.

Step 2

Mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the bell pepper and mushrooms, and chop the green onions and cilantro.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and red curry paste, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chicken strips to the pot, and sauté for another 5 minutes until they are lightly browned but not fully cooked through.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk. Stir in the fish sauce and lime juice, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Add the sliced bell pepper and mushrooms to the soup, and season with salt and pepper. Let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to cook through.

Step 7

Before serving, stir in the chopped green onions and cilantro.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed with more salt, lime juice, or fish sauce.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
