Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breast Main protein source providing heartiness; substitute with thighs for richer flavor.
  • 2 cans Coconut Milk Adds creaminess and a tropical flavor; light coconut milk works well for a lighter version.
  • 3 cups Chicken Broth Forms the soup base; homemade is best but store-bought is fine.
  • 2 tablespoons Red Curry Paste Introduces heat and spice; increase for more kick.
  • 1 tablespoon Fish Sauce Adds umami and depth; can be replaced with soy sauce for a vegetarian option.
  • 3 tablespoons Lime Juice Brightens flavor; fresh is preferred for optimal taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Balances spice with sweetness.
  • 1 Onion Chopped aromatic base for flavor.
  • 2 Red Bell Peppers Sliced thin; provides sweetness and color.
  • 1 cup Mushrooms Sliced, adds earthy flavor; can mix in other vegetables.
For Garnish
  • Fresh Cilantro Enhances presentation; optional for those who dislike the taste.

Equipment

  • Crockpot

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine the chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, then add the red curry paste. Stir gently to blend the ingredients.
  2. Incorporate fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar, stirring until evenly distributed.
  3. Add chopped onion and sliced red bell peppers, stirring gently to ensure the vegetables are nestled among the liquids.
  4. Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Stir halfway through.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, slice mushrooms and stir them into the soup. Cover and continue cooking until tender.
  6. Shred the chicken right inside the pot with two forks, mixing thoroughly before serving.
