Thai Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe
It’s Fall and there is no better time to make this hearty Thai Chicken Noodle Soup or Thai Coconut Chicken noodle soup.
This noodle soup recipe is absolutely delicious, just like Tom Yum Soup. It’s mildly spicy from the red curry paste, with a light creamy taste from the coconut milk, with the perfect balance of flavors.
Recipe Ingredients
The recipe calls for just a handful of main ingredients. These days, you can get curry paste and coconut milk from the International aisle of your neighborhood grocery stores.
You can also find the ingredients online.
- Ramen noodles. You can use ramen noodles from ramen packets. Just toss the seasonings. You can also use fresh noodles you get from Asian markets. Other dried noodles such as lo mein, soba noodles, or egg noodles will work just fine.
- Thai red curry paste. You can buy it from Asian stores or online. Always buy the smallest bottle or can. You only need a couple of tablespoons for this recipe.
- Chicken broth.
- Coconut milk.
- Fish sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you sure can. If you have lemongrass, just lightly bruise the bottom part of the lemongrass and add it to the coconut chicken soup. Lemongrass infuses the soup with a wonderful aroma and make the soup even better!
Yes, you can. Rice noodles, rice vermicelli or maifun are great with the chicken soup. Just follow the instructions of the packaging to prep the rice noodles. Ladle the soup over the rice noodles and you will have the same Thai chicken noodle soup.
I used Maesri brand red curry paste for the soup. If you love green curry, you can certainly use green curry paste to make this recipe. The taste will be different but the green chicken noodle soup will be equally delicious!
