Ingredients

1 pound Chicken breast 453g
2 tablespoons Coconut oil 30ml
3 cloves Garlic minced
2-inch piece Fresh ginger peeled and grated, 5cm
1 medium Red bell pepper sliced, about 5 ounces or 142g
1 cup Shiitake mushrooms sliced, about 2.5 ounces or 70g
4 cups Chicken broth 32 ounces or 946ml
1 can Full-fat coconut milk 13.5 ounces or 400ml
1 tablespoon Fish sauce 15ml
2 tablespoons Lime juice 30ml
1 tablespoon Red curry paste 15g
¼ cup Cilantro chopped, 4g
2 stalks Green onions sliced
½ teaspoon Salt 3g
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken breast to the pot. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and mushrooms to the pot and sauté for another 3 minutes until they start to soften.
Pour in the chicken broth, coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice, and red curry paste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
While the soup is simmering, remove the chicken breast and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the pot.
Season the soup with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Just before serving, stir in the chopped cilantro and green onions.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.

Notes

Adjust the amount of red curry paste to suit your taste and desired level of heat.

If you prefer a thicker soup, you can add a keto-friendly thickener like xanthan gum.

For a full Thai experience, serve with a side of cauliflower rice.
