thai chicken soup

Thai curry’s are one of my favorite foods ever. I am really happy I found a healthier way to make it at home since I used to be a green curry take-out addict.  I’m calling this a soup but it’s pretty reminiscent of a red curry. All you need is rice! 

Thai food is so versatile and you can really pick whatever vegetable you want to go into this soup. I chose red peppers, onion, mushrooms and broccoli, but anything you have on hand would work great. I always seem to choose bell peppers and onions, though. Enjoy this super easy way to have healthy, authentic Thai food in less than an hour!
