Equipment

  • 1 6 quart soup pot

Ingredients
  

  • 2 whole chicken breast sliced into thin strips
  • 14 ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp red curry paste
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup shallots sliced
  • 1 tbsp siracha hot chili sauce more if you want to raise the heat level
  • 1 cup mini bella mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 1 cup oyster mushrooms trimmed and sliced *see note
  • 1/2 cup julienned carrots
  • 1 whole red pepper seeds taken out, and sliced into thin strips
  • 2 whole roma tomatoes cut into chunks about 12 pieces each depending on size of tomato
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves rough chopped
  • 1/2 cup lime juice 2 limes juiced
  • 4 cups chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter in pan, add shallots, saute for one minutes.
  • Whisk in the red curry paste, cook for a minute longer.
  • Whisk in coconut milk. Turn temperature on stove top up to medium high.
  • Add chicken strips, bring to a low boil and cook until chicken is white and cooked through. Add 1 cup of broth at this time. Keep heat at a simmer after chicken is cooked through. This will take about 7 minutes, if chicken is sliced thin it will cook fast.
  • Add mushrooms, carrots, and pepper, cover pot and let cook/steam for 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove cover and add remaining broth and whisk in Siracha sauce.
  • If you don’t like spicy, then you may omit this sauce. If you like spice add more also red pepper flakes can be added if you prefer a lot of heat.
  • Add tomato chunks and lime juice. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes at a simmer.
  • Ladle into soup bowl and garnish with cilantro.

Notes

You can control the spice level with more or less siracha sauce.  If you do not have siracha or do not like the flavor, you can substitute red pepper flakes.  Start with 1/4 tsp and go up from there.
Cilantro: if you do not like cilantro or cannot eat it basil is a great substitute for cilantro in this recipe.
