Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breast Main protein source; can substitute with chicken thighs for a richer flavor.
  • 2 cans Coconut Milk Creates a creamy base; light version can be used without compromising taste.
  • 3 cups Chicken Broth Provides depth of flavor; homemade is great, but store-bought works well.
  • 2 tablespoons Red Curry Paste Adds warmth and a kick; adjust to taste for spice preference.
  • 1 tablespoon Fish Sauce Enhances umami; substitute with soy sauce for a vegetarian option.
  • 3 tablespoons Lime Juice Brightens the dish; fresh is preferable, but bottled works.
For the Sweetness and Depth
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Balances heat and acidity; can use regular sugar if unavailable.
  • 1 Onion Adds sweetness and depth; can use shallots for a milder flavor.
For the Veggie Medley
  • 2 Red Bell Peppers Introduces crunch and sweetness; other veggies like zucchini can be alternatives.
  • 1 cup Mushrooms Contributes umami and texture; can substitute with any leftover vegetables.
  • Fresh Cilantro Garnish; optional for those who dislike its flavor.
