Thai chicken noodle soup

Instructions

Use a fork to poke holes in the chicken and top with coconut aminos (or tamari) to begin marinating. Set aside.

Heat a large pot over a medium heat. Once hot, add oil, shallot, ginger, and garlic. Sauté until translucent and fragrant. Turn down heat if browning too quickly.

Add curry paste and stir. Cook for 1-2 minutes more. Then add coconut milk, chicken broth, lemongrass, salt, maple syrup, and Thai chili. The lemongrass and chili are both optional.

Bring to a very gentle boil over medium heat. Once simmering, add the marinated chicken and cover. Adjust heat as needed to avoid boiling.

Simmer chicken for 10-12 minutes, until cooked through. Then remove from pot and shred with two forks. Return to pot and simmer for a further 5 minutes.

Taste broth and adjust flavour as needed.

If serving with noodles: Either soak in just boiling water for 5-10 minutes (or until tender) and drain or add to the broth and cook for 5 minutes until tender.

Serve and garnish with fresh herbs and lime wedges.
