Tips for the Best Thai Chicken Soup:
- Curry Paste: The quality of your curry paste makes a big difference. We recommend using a Thai green or red curry paste for the best flavour.
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of red chilli to your liking. If you prefer a milder soup, remove the seeds from the chilli.
- Fresh Herbs: Don’t skimp on the fresh coriander and spring onions – they add a vibrant freshness to the soup.
- Noodles: Quick-cooking Chinese noodles work best, but you can substitute with rice noodles or your favourite type of noodle.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I use pre-cooked chicken?
A: Yes, you can! Just add it towards the end of the cooking process to warm it through.
Q: I don’t have fish sauce, what can I substitute?
A: Soy sauce can be used as a substitute, but it won’t have the same complex flavour. Use about 1.5 tablespoons of soy sauce.
Q: Can I make this soup vegetarian?
A: Absolutely! Substitute the chicken with tofu or mushrooms, and use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.
Q: Can I freeze this soup?
A: It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze the soup base (without the noodles and beansprouts) for up to 3 months. Add the noodles and beansprouts when reheating.
