Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 3 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Thai red curry paste
  • 2 inch piece ginger

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1 1/2 cups rotisserie chicken (cooked, shredded)
  • 1/2 cup carrot (grated, about 1 medium carrot)
  • 1/2 cup snow peas (thinly sliced)

Flavorings and Garnishes

  • 3 tsp Sriracha (hot chile sauce, reduce to 2 tsp for less spice)
  • 2 tsp soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint (for garnish)
  • Optional toppings: fresh cilantro and green onions

Noodles

  • 3 ounces rice noodles (rice-flour noodles)

Instructions

  1. Simmer Broth: In a large pot, combine chicken broth, water, rotisserie chicken, grated carrot, snow peas, Sriracha, soy sauce, Thai red curry paste, and ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook gently for 5-8 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  2. Cook Noodles: While the soup simmers, prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions—usually by soaking in hot water or boiling briefly—then drain well.
  3. Finish Broth: Remove and discard the ginger piece from the pot. Stir in fresh lime juice to brighten the flavors, then reduce heat to low to keep the soup warm.
  4. Serve: Ladle approximately 1 1/3 cups of broth into each bowl. Add the cooked rice noodles on top, then garnish with fresh mint, and optionally chopped cilantro and green onions.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha according to your preferred spice level.
  • Using low sodium broth and soy sauce helps control salt content.
  • If fresh mint is unavailable, basil can be a classy substitute.
  • To make this soup vegetarian, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit chicken or use tofu.
  • Rice noodles cook quickly; avoid overcooking to maintain their texture.
  • The soup can be prepared in advance and reheated gently before serving.
