Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Blue Dragon Thai Red Curry Paste
- 1 can Blue Dragon Light Coconut Milk
- 1-2 tsp Blue Dragon Fish Sauce
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 lb diced boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 1/2 a red onion, diced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 stalks of celery, diced
- 1 tsp of white sugar (optional)
- Thinly sliced lime leaves (optional)
- Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a soup pot, heat up 1 tbsp of olive oil and then add all diced vegetables - sautee for five minutes
- Once vegetables begin to get soft, add curry paste and continue to sautee until very fragrant
- Add the coconut milk and broth - stir while bringing to a boil over medium heat
- Turn down to a simmer and add fish sauce to taste - here is where I add a couple of pinches of sugar, simply because I like the curry to be a bit sweet - it's up to you.
- In a separate frying pan, add the other tbsp of olive oil and heat over medium - add chicken and sautee until cooked through
- Once chicken is cooked through, add to the soup and continue to simmer for 3-4 minutes
- Add lime leaves - if you like - in the last two-three minutes of simmering
- Serve with cilantro as a garnish
