Chicken Coconut Curry Soup

Jeff and I were sitting around at lunch time on Saturday and suddenly had a hankering for curry.  I found out how easy it was to make the week before when I made shrimp curry for the first time.  Basically all you need is curry paste, coconut milk, and a little chicken broth.  Easy peasy.  I had some chicken thighs that needed to be used, so I got to work.

The longest part of making this dish was prepping the chicken, everything else went quickly.  As I chopped the chicken and veggies and started adding it all to the pot, I realized there wasn’t enough liquid to cook everything, so I added more chicken broth.  We ended up with soup, and I have to say it was really good!  I had the leftovers for lunch yesterday and will eat the rest for lunch today.  Top with fresh basil and a healthy squirt of Sriracha for the full experience.  The Sriracha adds some nice heat back to the dish where the extra chicken broth has taken some of it away.
