Have made this many times, and it's always good. You can add red bell peppers, mushrooms, or bok choi--or just make it as is. I always use just 2 cups of chicken broth (which would be 4 cups if I were making the entire recipe, but I usually make 1/2 the recipe for the two of us. That way, it's a one-dish meal. My husband always eats two servings, and I'm pretty happy with one. And I use the full amount of seasoning for half the recipe.

The soup was good, but only with the tweaks I picked up from prior reviews did it really shine. I doubled the spices including the curry paste. I added an EXTRA tablespoon of curry powder. I used up some Thanksgiving left overs by adding a riced baked sweet potato as well as some sliced mushrooms. I did not precook the spinach and peas, but threw them in after the chicken. I topped the soup at the table with the lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream (I think plain yogurt would be even better). After the tweaks it was delicious and I am so glad I have left overs for lunch today and then again for another meal for my hubby and I. Yummmm.....

OH MAN this soup is delicious!! I used the Flu Fighting stock I made from Everyday Maven's recipe http://www.everydaymaven.com/2013/flu-fighter-chicken-stock/, and only one tablespoon of sugar. I also added mushrooms to bulk it up a bit. This recipe is a keeper!

I loved this recipe. Even with the spice my 9 YO gave it 2 thumbs up. I did deviate from the recipe slightly. I used the bulb of the green onions because I didn't have shallots. For the same reason, sugar snap peas instead of snow peas. I used regular coconut milk instead of light because i wasn't paying enough attention when I went to the grocery. I will add some matchstick carrots in my next batch. I believe this may be the next winner of my office's annual soup/chili challenge.

Outstanding soup! Forget first step and simplify prep time by tossing noodles in with chicken, onions, etc., then add spinach & snow peas for last 30 seconds. I also added edamame. Yum, yum, yum!

I will make this again, for sure! My family loved it. I used all the ingredients per the recipe, plus added one sliced red bell pepper and 2 shredded carrots. Next time I will do the same except I will increase the spices as I do with almost every CL recipe I make. This definitely is not spicy as written...and for anyone who doesn't particularly care for fish sauce, you can't skip it - it really deepens the flavor here and won't make this taste fishy. The lime is essential too! Oh, I also modified the first step (steamed the snow peas in microwave, and did nothing to the spinach except add the hot snow peas and noodles to it. It wilted the rest of the way down after I poured the soup mixture over). I would be happy to serve this to guests; tonight I actually used my pasta bowls and used a 1/2C measuring cup to place a formed portion of white rice in the center and ladled the soup around it. Garnished with sprig of cilantro and the lime wedge. It looked pretty fancy if I do say! :)

This was wonderful!!! Followed the recipe to the tee except that I had to dial back the curry paste because of my girls, but the adults spiked it up with sriracha. The flavor was fantastic and the coconut flavor was not too overpowering. Everyone loved it including the girls (ages 5 and 6). Will be making this again very soon!

This was really good. I took other people's advice and used the regular coconut milk. I used sugar snap peas and parboiled them in the water for the noodles. I used egg noodles, because my store didn't have the others. I also added the spinach in towards the end of cooking. That made more sense to me. I used sriacha hot sauce in place of the chilies. Yum!

This is the best thai soup I've ever tasted. Healthy and easy. Only trouble I had was that my noodles got soggy while they were sitting. I had rinsed them with water to stop the cooking so I suspect the heat from the blanched vegetables was the problem. I will either reduce the cooking time on the noodles next time (the box said to cook only for a minute, but they still seemed too firm at that point), or store them in a bowl separately from the steamed vegetables while I'm cooking the rest of the soup.

I love this soup but did make it a little differently. I skipped step 1 entirely. I chose to stir fry my veggies....red pepper strips, sliced baby bella mushrooms, carrot sticks and snow peas. I made a lot of veggies because I like to put a lot in the soup and make it a very hearty, filling soup. I also used a little less sugar...slightly less than 1 1/2 tbsp. When ready to eat, I put a bunch of fresh spinach in the bowl, poured the hot broth on top to wilt. Then added the veggies and precooked noodles. The lime is a must as it does mellow the taste from the fish sauce. I also add chili oil to make it a little spicier. I sometimes substitute quinoa for the noodles. I realize this isn't an Asian ingredient but does provide me with a little extra protein and goes well in the soup.

Great Thai style soup, another keeper for my cold weather repertoire. As a vegetable lover I added 1/4 pound sliced shitake mushrooms and an additional cup of baby spinach. Next time I will increase the chicken for my husband. Also, we are not fans of the pad Thai noodles and substituted whole wheat angel hair.

I am astonished that this recipe showed up under "quick and easy" recipes. This recipe was anything but that. It was extremely complicated, required a lot of extra ingredients that most don't typically have on hand, and the flavor was bland and one dimensional. In fact it was quite a bit watery. I love curry, especially coconut curry. I could have Thai iced tea accompanied with a bowl of coconut curry for every meal, but this recipe was not up to par. It has been near a year since I attempted it, and I have never made a second attempt that is how horrible the experience was.

Followed the recipe exactly. Used crushed pepper vs. the red chilies. Excellent. The flavors weren't super strong, so don't expect blow-you-out-of-the-water spice or flavor, if you like strong flavors like we do, but this was our 1st CL hit in a long time in terms of a weeknight meal. Fresh & light. ETA: this review was based on the 1st night. Leftovers the 2nd night were significantly more flavorful. We loved it before, but the leftovers were even better with a lot more kick.

This was truly delicious! I did have to make some minor modifications but it still turned out well. I didn't have any red curry paste so I just omitted it from the dish. I didn't have the type of noodles called for in the recipe so I used what I had on hand, which was spaghetti. I made this in my dutch oven so that my chicken, which was a quarter leg, could simmer in the pot for a while with the soup. This recipe is a keeper!

I made this last night, it was wonderful comfort food. I call this a Thai/Indian chicken noodle soup! I didn't have any shallots on hand and used regular onions instead. I also used less fish sauce, it has a really strong flavor and felt that 2 tablespoons was just too much. I will make it again using regular coconut milk. I know this is a cooking light magazine trying to lighten up the fat calories, however the soup is calling out for more coconut! Great recipe, I look forward to making this in the cold weather season.

SO GOOD. Amazing flavor. Put it this way, it makes a TON and my boyfriend and I polished off the whole batch in one week. I typically use a rotisserie chicken for things like this but got to the store too late so I poached some thin sliced chicken breasts in chicken broth instead. I added some shredded carrots as I had them on-hand and upped the red curry paste just a tad since I love spice. Such a great balance of sweet and spicy. Definitely will make again.

Really just amazing recipe - such a great blend of spices. I poached my chicken in some of the chicken broth, then just aded the chicken broth to the soup. The only thing I would note is when you set the rice noodles aside, they seem to get a little stuck together, so I would recommend keeping them in a little water, or making sure to separate them before you add them back to the soup (this is what I did). Otherwise REALLY REALLY good recipe - and very filling for only 315 calories!!!

The only change that I made was using kale instead of spinach. I couldn't find fresh spinach, so I used what I already had. I also had green chili paste and used that instead of the red chili paste. Definitely make this if you are looking for something totally different to make for your family.

This was an outstanding recipe. It does require some ingredients you might not have in your pantry such as the curry paste and/or fish sauce, but it's well worth the expense to purchase those since you DEFINITELY will want to make this again! I subbed out boneless/skinless chicken thighs for the pre-cooked chicken and sauteed it in the fist step, and it came out great! Also I used sriacha sauce instead of the red pepper or chiles to add some more heat and it was perfect. I even bumped up some of the other spices and doubled the garlic, but I like things to be bangin' with flavor. Also added a ton of carrots I had lying around and 2 green bell peppers as others suggested. Couldn't find pad thai noodles so I used some Japanese soba noodles instead. Don't be afraid to experiment!

This soup did the trick. I substituted green curry paste for red and did not add curry powder as I didnt have any, added bean sprouts and used Pad Thai (thin) rice noodles instead of wide ones, used veggie broth instead of chicken, and tofu instead of chicken. Delicious! Easy recipe to modify and make your own.

DELICIOUS. I didn't shred the chicken, just sauted it in cooking spray in bite-size chunks. Added a little extra curry paste, added an extra garlic clove, used the red pepper flakes instead of chilis (less spicy), and added a couple tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce at the end to make it a little saltier. I would have liked more veggies, maybe some chopped carrots or broccoli. Served it with toasted French bread slices.

This soup was SO yummy and very easy. Very filling and good sized portion for limited calories. The sweetness of the coconut milk offset by the spiciness of the curry was amazing.

Fantastic soup - filling and healthful. I added chopped zucchini and sliced mushrooms. They were great additions. Ate leftovers the next day cold - would be an ideal way to serve for summertime! Will make this over and over.

This made a great, somewhat quick dinner (partly because we cooked the chicken yesterday), and the flavor is amazing. Hot, sweet, savory. YUM.

I have made this at least 7 times already! This is a wonderful tasty recipe. I added lemongrass for a nice Thai feel and just to change it up I made it with shrimp and vegetable broth. It is a winner no matter what. My husband and I have to limit it to twice a week.

Great flavors and quick to prepare. Just as good reheated as first meal. Low in fat, but very satisfying. It was my first time using commercial red curry paste - it won't be my last!

This was GREAT! I made the recipe as written, but used a rotissery chicken. I made it with the optional 1/4 tsp of crushed red pepper instead of the fresh (I have a tendancy to accidentally buy peppers that are too hot) and it was spicy but not too. The lime at the end was key - after squeezing it in, throw the rind in the bowl, it will add extra flavor. YUM!

This was tasty and had that great combo of thai flavors. Instead of blanching the spinach and snow peas, however, I just threw them in with the coconut milk. CL recipes insert steps where they aren't needed sometimes!

I made this without the red pepper and it had a great spicy Thai flavor. It is a wonderful soup that is definitely going into our dinner rotation. To streamline the recipe a bit, I did not precook the rice noodles, spinach or snow peas before hand. I soaked the rice noodles in hot water and just added everything into the pot before the last 2 minute simmer. Super good recipe!

I made this soup exactly as directed with no changes. It was amazing! My family loved it. I prepared all ingredients before and had everything ready before starting soup. It was very easy and quick to prepare. I would not change a thing and can't wait to make it again.

This was an Excellent Soup! My husband and I are huge fans and my 11 yr old son at the whole bowl veggies and all! The market only had Sugar Snap Peas which I used in place of the snow peas and they added great taste and fresh texture. I also used cooked rotisserie chicken from the market to save time since I didn't have leftover chicken on hand. Other than that no changes to the recipe as written and this one is a new family favorite!

We had a fight over who would get the last bowl. I followed the recipe exactly. I've made it twice now and would gladly make it again.

My new favorite soup. I recommend using half the amount of snow peas and not pre-cooking them, to retain texture. Have all dry ingredients pre-measured and all vegetables pre-chopped and measured to make the cooking process flow quickly.

This was delicious! The ingredients really work well together. I substituted carrots for the snow peas, and I would probably add the carrots to the snow peas the next time I make this - probably next week! Has already become a family favorite!

This was amazing! I made it without the chiles because I have a low spice tolerance, and it was just right (and still flavorful). The whole family loved it; will make again.

Excellent! ...especially if you like Thai. I'll definately make again- good for lunch or a first course. This would even be good over rice. I only had full-salt chicken broth, so I used 5 cups & 1 cup water.

FAQs

Why does curry need coconut milk? ›

Yellow curry commonly utilizes spices such as turmeric, coconut, ginger, and lemongrass. Red chili peppers, pepper, garlic, and fish sauce are commonly found in red curries. A signature ingredient of many Thai curries is coconut milk, which adds an element of creamy sweetness.

How to thicken coconut milk curry? ›

How to reduce water in curry? ›

One of the most common methods to thicken a curry sauce is by reducing it. To do this, simmer your sauce over low to medium heat, allowing excess moisture to evaporate. As the liquid decreases, the sauce thickens. This technique works well for tomato-based sauces and thinner curries.

What is better for curry coconut milk or coconut cream? ›

What adds depth to curry? ›

Do you thicken curry with lid on or off? ›

Does yogurt thicken curry? ›

It will not actually thicken the curry. It only adds a creamy texture to the curry. If you want to make your curry thicker, you will need to add some other ingredients like flour or coconut powder.

What can I add to curry to make it thicker? ›

Cornstarch or Arrowroot
  1. Use cornstarch or arrowroot starch to thicken your curry. Prepare a slurry with starch and cold water/ curry. If you add the starch directly to your curry, it can clump.
  2. Add this at the very end of the cooking process. Once the slurry is added and the sauce comes to a boil, it will thicken.

Why is my curry so soupy? ›

Too much liquid or broth is added during cooking. Short cooking time or not enough simmering time for the sauce to reduce.

Can you substitute water for coconut milk in curry? ›

Use low fat coconut milk, a diluted (sugar free) coconut milk beverage or simply substitute 1/3 water for full fat coconut milk (ie if the recipes calls for 1 cup coconut milk, use 2/3 coconut milk and 1/3 water instead).

How do you thicken curry without coconut milk? ›

Adding tomato puree is probably the most common method of thickening curry sauces. Simply add the tomato puree during the cooking process rather than adding it at the end. This will help to thicken your curry or pasta sauce from the beginning, speeding up the cooking time.
