Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Oil
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breast 2-3 chicken breasts sliced thin across the grain
  • 2 whole whole Garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh Ginger
  • 1 whole Red Pepper seeded and sliced
  • 13 ounces Coconut Milk 1 can
  • 2 tablespoons Red Curry Paste
  • 14 ounce can Diced Tomatoes
  • 3 cups Chicken Broth 1 can or 1 carton will do. see notes section below.
  • 2 cups Vegetable of your choice green beans, peas, broccoli, snap peas, spinach
  • salt and pepper to taste

Garnish with lime wedges and basil or cilantro leaves.

Instructions
 

  • In a large sauce pan heat oil on high add in chicken slices cook chicken until chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

  • Whisk together coconut milk and curry paste pour in with chicken, then add broth. Turn heat down and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add in can of diced tomatoes and vegetable of choice simmer for 10 minutes. If you like your veggie's soft with no crunch then cook a little longer. We prefer ours with a crunch.

    Notes

    This recipe is easy to make without meat.  Simply give the garlic and ginger a quick stir in the oil, being careful not to burn then add in pepper and onions if you like, also substituting vegetable broth for the chicken, from here continue on with the recipe as it's written above.
    amount of broth/stock: I addressed in the post, but incase you skipped right to the recipe card. The original recipe says 3 cups, but I realize that is neither a can or a carton of broth. It doesnt make a difference use, one can, one carton, or two cans of broth. It will still be delicious it will only make a difference in the thickness and obviously how much soup you have.
