Chicken And Sweet Potato Soup Ingredients

Thai-Style Chicken and Sweet Potato Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp Ginger (minced)
• 1-2 tbsp Thai Red Curry Paste (adjust to taste)
• 400g Chicken Breast (thinly sliced or cubed)
• 2 medium Sweet Potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 1 can (400ml) Coconut Milk
• 3 cups Chicken Stock
• 2 Kaffir Lime Leaves (torn into pieces)
• 1 tbsp Fish Sauce (or soy sauce for a vegetarian option)
• 1 tbsp Lime Juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tsp Brown Sugar (optional, to balance flavors)
• 1 Red Chili (sliced, optional for heat)
• 1/2 cup Fresh Spinach (optional, or other greens like kale)
• Fresh Coriander (for garnish)
• Lime Wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute).

2. Cook the Curry Paste: Stir in the red curry paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop.

3. Add Chicken: Add the sliced or cubed chicken to the pot and cook until it begins to brown (about 3-4 minutes).

4. Add Sweet Potatoes, Coconut Milk, and Stock: Add the diced sweet potatoes, coconut milk, and chicken stock. Stir to combine and bring the soup to a simmer.

5. Simmer: Add the torn kaffir lime leaves and let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the chicken is fully cooked.

6. Season the Soup: Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more fish sauce for saltiness or lime juice for tang.

7. Add Spinach and Chili (Optional): If using spinach or other greens, stir them into the soup just before serving. Add sliced red chili for extra heat if desired.

8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh coriander and lime wedges.
