Our take on a traditional Thai soup. We love the addition of red chili paste to add depth of flavor. And don’t forget the lime squeeze finish. It will set this soup apart!

This soup is amazing. Great flavors and easy to make. I used boneless chicken thighs which cooked in 20 minutes. Super yummy! Will make again for sure.
Simply one of the best Thai Coconut soup recipes; however, I also used the Bell and Evans chicken thighs as you do have the best chicken. I can’t wait to try their skin on boned chicken thighs. Unfortunately, they are hard to get currently at my market.
