Curry Coconut Chicken Soup

Curry Coconut Chicken Soup is packed with flavor! Tracy from Shutterbean shows you how to make this weeknight curry!

The recipe for this Curry Coconut Chicken Soup started from a Sunday fridge cleanout. 

A picked-at rotisserie chicken, leftover coconut milk, and yellow curry paste in my fridge turned into this soup I am currently obsessed with.

In this iteration, I used leftover rice from my meal prep. You can totally add rice noodles and any other vegetable you’re into. 

I bet broccoli would have been good in this but I had none!

It’s one of those soups that gets better by day two when the flavor really develops. I have a feeling I am going to be making this until I get sick of it (not likely) allllll winter.  It’s probably the first thing I’d turn to if I was sick. Extra jalapenos to clean out the sinuses!
