Chicken Curry Soup with Coconut and Lime

Recipe was good but it felt like it was missing something, can't really figure out what it is though. Also, made it twice, second time we added another can of coconut milk which made it better, but it was still missing something.

Imade the soup with just one minor change; I used 1 1/2 cans of fat free reduced sodium chicken broth. My wife, who does not like curry dishes had two bowls. Need I say more?

Awesome! It's easy, requires minimal ingredients that I usually have in the frig, and only took 12 minutes to make! I added 1/4 tsp cumin to give it more body and lime zest to bring out the lime zing. Thanks for this great recipe!

I had placed the remainder of the chicken we had last night into the crock pot along with two 32oz Thai Coconut Curry Broth packs. After de-boning this AM, I found this recipe and added all but the broth & chicken as written. Added some carrots and peas as well to give it some color. Soup came out great.

I made this last week (my first time making coconut curry) and it was absolutely delicious! I used lite coconut milk and low sodium chicken broth, both from Trader Joe's. I also used shrimp instead of chicken. I can't remember if I added more curry powder (I think I did), or if I added fresh garlic (I don't think I did, but just not sure). Will have to experiment next time to find out. In the meantime, this is definitely a keeper. Thanks!

We really like this! The only alterations I made were to use vege-chicken (FriChik) instead of "real" chicken. Thanks so much for sharing!! :O)

I really wanted to like this, but it was just disappointing. It was too bland, even with changes. I used only 2 chicken breasts, as four seemed like a lot. I also used lemon instead of lime because that was all I could get, and I added a head of broccoli. I ended up using about 2 tbsp of curry powder, which gave it a nice color but it was still bland. I even added cumin like other viewers said, but the only thing that could save it was to add a LOT more lemon juice. Maybe I will make this again, but I would have to add a lot of things.

This is fantastic. I have made this following the original recipe and then made it a second time by adding an additional can of (lite) coconut milk. I doubled the amount of rice the second time and added a tablespoon of fish sauce (along with a sprinkling of red pepper flakes) and I would say my second attempt is what I'm actually giving 5 stars. Great depth of flavor and a little extra heat made this very special. Also, with the second attempt divided into 5 servings (and using the lite coconut milk) clocks in at 460 calories per serving and 12 grams of fat. Not a bad lunch at all! This was also very simple to make...will definitely put on regular rotation. I think this is better than my fave Thom Kha from the local Thai restaurant!

This is super easy and delicious too. I didn't have any jalapenos so I used about 1 tablespoon of hot chile paste. Otherwise I followed it as stated. Really good with a nice bite to it. Would be great if you have a sore throat!!!

I absolutely adore Thai cuisine, so I was excited to come across this recipe. It really is a very easy, flavorful soup, and definitely a great change of pace from the usual chicken soup. I scaled this down to two servings; taking the cue from other reviewers who remarked that there wasn't enough sauce, I kept all of the other ingredients AS IS (including the rice), and simply reduced the amount of chicken by half. This worked out beautifully, yielding just the right ratio of liquid to meat. Other than that, the only changes I made were 1) NOT seeding the pepper (I wanted the heat). and 2) adding a teaspoon of minced garlic to the coconut milk mixture, since we love garlic in our house and it's such a common ingredient in Thai cooking anyway. Even with those changes, the soup still seemed to be missing that certain something that would make it taste truly Thai... I think a small amount of fish sauce would really work wonders for this soup and put it over the top! I may also cut the lime juice down by half, as it seemed to overpower the coconut and curry flavors. Thanks for sharing!

This was delicious & very easy. I followed the recipe as written. Next time I might double the sauce, as there was a lot of chicken, but not much sauce. I also may consider adding some curry paste, as the curry flavor did not quite come through as I'd hoped. I really enjoyed eating this over rice and will definitely make it again. My husband loved it though he thought it tasted Mexican instead of Thai. :)

REALLY great recipe. I doubled the sauce as suggested by another review. I also had a sweet potato I needed to use so I cut it up and put it in the soup. For me, curry needs to be a little sweeter than with just unsweetened coconut milk, so I added a tablespoon of brown sugar. I put the chicken breasts in the crock pot before I went to work so this was super easy to thow together.

Delicious! We added some oyster mushrooms and some bamboo shoots and it was really yummy!

Excellent for a quick meal. I added some mushrooms and a little fish sauce just because I can't help myself LOL! I give this soup 5 stars and I am making it again tonight!

This is wonderful soup! I used sliced jalapenos from the jar and it gave it a nice spicy kick. I also doubled the broth amount to stretch it out more and it was perfect.

Very similar to the chicken coconut soup at one of our fav Thai places. I used green curry paste so it was pretty warm. Next time (for a xmas eve soup party) we are going to experiment by adding some veggies (carrots,peapods, bamboo shoots?). Very light, great tasting soup! Easy!

This soup was excellent. My husband just gobbled it up. I used hot, hot curry powder - as we like very spicy dishes and also added some bamboo shouts just before serving. I ladled the soup over left-over rice mixed with left-over boiled potatoes. Thanks for the recipe!

I am posting a comment instead of a review because I used a flavoured chicken broth, which altered the taste considerably. Campbell's has come out with new Asian flavoured broths, and I used the Thai one. It is quite spicy on its own. If you make this soup using the Thai broth, I would suggest starting with just the broth and the coconut milk and adding the spices and jalapeno pepper if needed.

It smelled absolutely heavenly! And it tasted wonderful. The only thing I would say is I didn't find the curriness as strong as I would like it. Perhaps a bit more curry powder? I'm not sure. It was very yummy though. Thank you!

I enjoyed this, but I would like to make it with a Thai curry paste and some fish sauce next time to give it a bit more depth of flavour. It was certainly easy to make, and as Normaone says, it's all things on hand too.
