Method
 

  1. Warm the Coconut Oil
    Heat the oil in a large pot until it melts and shimmers.
  2. Cook the Aromatics
    Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until they soften and smell warm.
  3. Add the Curry Paste
    Stir in the curry paste and let it cook for a minute to deepen the flavor.
  4. Pour In the Broth
    Add the chicken broth and stir until the curry paste dissolves.
  5. Pour In the Coconut Milk
    Lower the heat and stir in the coconut milk so the soup turns creamy.
  6. Add the Chicken
    The shredded chicken goes in next to warm through.
  7. Season the Pot
    Add fish sauce, salt, pepper, and lime juice for balance.
  8. Add the Vegetables
    Add mushrooms and peppers and let them soften gently.
  9. Add the Greens
    Spinach or bok choy goes in last so it wilts softly.
  10. Let It Settle & Serve
    Let the soup sit on low heat for a minute so the flavors blend smoothly, then ladle it into bowls and top with cilantro or a squeeze of fresh lime. It pairs especially well with keto garlic butter or cauliflower rice.
