Thai Green Curry Chicken Soup
Everyone’s favorite Thai green curry can be made right at home into the coziest, most comforting chicken soup ever! It is so easy to make with easy-to-find ingredients, loaded with tender chicken bites, ginger, coconut milk, snow peas, lime juice, cilantro and rice noodles!
When we went to Thailand last month, we stayed at this villa in Koh Samui with a home cook that we called Mrs. Dao.
She made us an American breakfast in the mornings, made up our room when we left for the day, and whipped up dinner in a pinch when we got back.
She was simply the best. We loved her.
But guys.
She made the best green curry I have ever had in my entire life.
I don’t know if she put crack in there or something but we asked for her green curry every single night until we had to leave.
And when we got to the next villa, their green curry didn’t even hold a candle to Mrs. Dao’s green curry.
Now I wish I could say this was her recipe here.
It’s not. I couldn’t get her super secret crack-filled recipe.
But it is completely and 100% inspired by her.
To Mrs. Dao.
