  Recipe Tips

• Thai red curry paste is medium-level spicy. If you prefer a spicier dish, use Thai green curry paste. For a milder dish, opt for yellow Thai curry paste.

  To prepare this soup on the stove, simply increase the amount of chicken broth to 8 cups and simmer the chicken for 15 minutes, to ensure it’s cooked through.
