Thai Chicken Red Curry Soup

This recipe was a spin-off of my green curry recipe almost a year ago. This one, like my cooking ability was improved and tasty (not sure how my cooking ability is tasty, but let’s go with it).

I WANTED to add bamboo shoots, but my local Sprouts doesn’t carry them anymore, so I am on an official bamboo shoot-hunt. I will find you, elusive bamboo shoots.

This recipe was really easy and not time-consuming in the least, it was about 3-ish servings/it fed me twice.

Let’s rock and roll…
