Thai Coconut Chicken Curry Soup image

Chicken soup soothes the soul (not a scientific fact yet, but it may as well be). In this Thai version, we infuse the broth with coconut milk, fragrant curry paste, fresh ginger, and cilantro to wake up the senses. If you're looking to clear congestion, add a few slices of fresh jalapeno to the stock mixture while it simmers. Remember to saute the chicken just until no longer pink, otherwise the pieces may become tough in the finished soup.

This soup was easy to make and so flavorful! I used a little less curry powder than the recipe called for, and it was still plenty spicy for me. I served it with rice and it was the perfect meal for a cold night.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a hit. It's so flavorful and comforting, and it's also very easy to make. I usually add a little bit of extra vegetables, such as carrots or bell peppers, and it always turns out great.
