Ingredients
Scale
Soup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 2 tablespoons (90g) Thai yellow curry paste
- ⅓ cup (42g) powdered peanut butter
- 2 (14-ounce) cans reduced-fat coconut milk
- 4 cups chicken bone broth
- 2 packages rice ramen, or noodles of choice
- 1 pound rotisserie chicken or cooked chicken, chopped
- 2–3 handfuls fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1–2 teaspoons fish sauce
- Juice of 1 lime
For Serving
- Minced shallots or red onion
- Lime wedges
- Chili crisp
- Wonton strips or fried noodles
- Fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Soften the onion: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and kosher salt. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Cook the curry paste: Add the yellow curry paste and stir for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Make the broth: Stir in powdered peanut butter, coconut milk, and chicken bone broth. Add a handful of chopped cilantro if desired. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add chicken and noodles: Add the rice ramen and chopped rotisserie chicken. Simmer for 4–5 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the chicken is heated through.
- Season the soup: Stir in 1 teaspoon fish sauce and the lime juice. Taste and add additional fish sauce, lime juice, or salt as needed.
- Serve: Ladle into bowls and garnish with cilantro, minced shallots or red onion, lime wedges, chili crisp, and wonton strips as desired.
Notes
- Full-fat coconut milk can replace reduced-fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier broth.
- Curry pastes vary in heat and saltiness, so adjust the amount to taste.
- For meal prep, store the noodles separately so they don’t absorb too much broth.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 3–4 days, depending on the freshness of the cooked chicken.
- Add extra broth when reheating if the soup becomes too thick.
- Optional toppings such as chili crisp and wonton strips are not included in the estimated nutrition below.
