• Fresh Spinach or Kale: Toss some greens in at the end for added nutrition and color.

Let’s Make it together

Prep Your Ingredients: Start by chopping all your veggies and mincing garlic and ginger so they’re ready to go. This makes cooking smoother and more enjoyable.

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add some oil and sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant—about 1-2 minutes until they become golden brown.

Add Chicken: Toss in the boneless chicken thighs, cooking until they are browned on all sides—about 5-7 minutes will do. You want them slightly crispy for extra texture.

Spice It Up: Sprinkle in your curry powder along with chopped bell peppers. Stir well so everything gets coated with those aromatic spices—let them mingle for about 2 minutes.

Pour in Liquids: Add coconut milk and vegetable broth next, stirring gently to combine—bring it all to a simmer while enjoying that heavenly aroma wafting through your kitchen.

Add Greens & Serve: Once simmered for about 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through, stir in spinach or kale until wilted. Serve hot with lime juice squeezed on top.

This chicken curry soup isn’t just another meal; it’s an experience filled with warmth, laughter, and maybe even some dancing while you cook! So grab that spoon because you’re about to embark on a culinary adventure!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by sautéing onions and garlic until fragrant. Then add your chicken pieces to brown them nicely before tossing in spices and broth for a rich flavor.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap out the veggies based on seasonal availability or personal preference. Adding coconut milk can bring a creamy richness that’s simply divine.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftover Chicken Curry Soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat to maintain its flavor.

The first time I made Chicken Curry Soup for friends, they devoured it! Their compliments warmed my heart almost as much as the soup itself.
