Ingredients
-
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 2 red bell peppers, chopped
- 1 large carrot, cut into thin 2-inch-long pieces
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 2 (13.5-ounce) cans coconut milk, shaken well
- 3 cups Swanson Chicken Broth
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
- 2 packages ramen noodles (reserve seasoning packets for another use)
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Sauté the Vegetables:
- Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion, bell peppers, and carrots. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Add the Spices:
- Stir in the curry powder, cayenne pepper, and kosher salt to taste. Mix until the vegetables are evenly coated with the spices and fragrant.
- Pour in the Liquids:
- Add the coconut milk and chicken broth to the pot, stirring well to combine.
- Bring the soup to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Cook the Noodles:
- Add the ramen noodles to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the broth. Let them cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and separated.
- Add the Chicken and Cilantro:
- Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and chopped cilantro. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes to heat the chicken through.
- Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra chopped cilantro.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for a fresh, citrusy kick.
Notes
- Customize the Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini to make the soup more nutritious.
- Adjust the Spice: For a milder soup, reduce the cayenne pepper or omit it altogether. For more heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- Make It Vegetarian: Swap the chicken for tofu or chickpeas and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Freezing Tip: If you plan to freeze the soup, leave out the noodles and add fresh noodles when reheating.
