Full Recipe:
3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (14 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Optional: Sliced red chilies for added heat
Prepare the Ingredients: Chop the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and ginger. Thinly slice the red bell pepper and carrots.
Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Cook the Chicken: Add the chopped chicken pieces to the pot. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, approximately 5–7 minutes.
Add Broth and Coconut Milk: Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Incorporate Vegetables: Add the sliced red bell pepper and carrots to the pot. Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Finish with Lime and Soy Sauce: Stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice and soy sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and optional sliced red chilies for added heat. Serve immediately and enjoy!
