Ingredients
- 12 ounces chicken breast shredded
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 5 ounces Shiitake mushrooms sliced
- 13.5 ounce can unsweetened full fat coconut milk
- 1 small zucchini sliced into half moons
- ½ cup red pepper sliced into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 2" piece lemongrass
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon scallions thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons ginger grated
- 1 clove garlic minced
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Keto friendly mild flavored oil
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by shredding cooked chicken breast. I poached 2 chicken breasts in chicken stock, then shredded. You can certainly use shredded rotisserie chicken instead, if you'd like.
- Take the piece of lemongrass and hit it a few times with the back of your knife. This will release the flavor into the soup, which really adds so much!
- Heat a large pot to medium, add in the butter and oil and sauté the mushrooms and red pepper for a few minutes. Add in the ginger and garlic, sauté for about 20 seconds, then stir in the curry paste and allow to toast for 10 seconds.
- Deglaze the pan with the chicken stock (I used the remaining poaching stock, along with more chicken stock). Add in the coconut milk, chicken, lime juice/zest, fish sauce, lemongrass and scallions.
- Simmer for 15 minutes, uncovered. Add in the zucchini and allow to cook 5 more minutes or until tender. Discard the lemongrass, garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with a squeeze of lime! Store leftovers in the fridge for a few days or freeze.
Notes
- If you don't like too much spice, you can reduce the red curry down to just 1 tablespoon. The soup will still have tremendous flavor, but will be a bit milder.
