  • 4  cups  vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 2  (14 oz) cans lite coconut milk
  • ¼ cup fish sauce
  • 1 pound  cooked chicken about 4 cups - I used leftover rotisserie chicken

Instructions

  • Heat a large stockpot over medium heat.
  • Once hot, add in olive oil, celery, carrots, bell pepper, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
  • Cook, stirring regularly, until veggies are tender, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Stir in peanut butter, curry paste, and brown sugar.
  • Slowly whisk in broth, coconut milk, and fish sauce.
  • Stir in cooked chicken.
  • Bring to a simmer.
  • Once simmering, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes (you'll probably need to lower heat to LOW to keep the mixture at a simmer).
  • Stir in lime juice, then taste and re-season, if necessary.
  • Place desired amount of cooked noodles* into serving bowls and top with hot soup.
  • Garnish with cilantro, green onions, and peanuts.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

*You don’t want to stir the cooked noodles into the big pot of soup, because they soak up too much liquid and get soggy.
**Store leftover soup and leftover cooked noodles in separate containers in the fridge.
