Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

4 cups chicken broth

1 can (400 ml) coconut milk

200g rice noodles

2 tablespoons red curry paste

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 cup fresh spinach

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup bean sprouts

2 green onions, chopped

Fresh cilantro for garnish

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

    Flavor the Broth: In the same pot, add the red curry paste. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant, then add the chicken broth and coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

      Cook the Chicken: Return the browned chicken thighs to the pot. Reduce heat to low and cover, allowing to simmer for about 20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.

        Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.

          Add the Noodles: Stir in the rice noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually around 4-5 minutes).

            Finish the Soup: Add the fish sauce, lime juice, spinach, sliced red bell pepper, and bean sprouts. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.

              Season to Taste: Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.

                Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro.
