Method

  1. Tip the stock into a saucepan, then stir in the curry paste, fish sauce, sugar, lime juice and most of the zest. Bring to the boil, then add the mushrooms and whites of the spring onion. Cover, then simmer for 2 mins.
  2. Stir in the chicken and most of the spring onion greens to gently heat through, then serve ladled into bowls and scattered with the remaining lime zest. Serve with extra lime juice, sugar and fish sauce on the side so everyone can adjust their own bowlfuls.

KNOW-HOW

If you don't have any leftover chicken, put 2 chicken breasts in a pan with a stock cube and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, then turn off the heat and cover for 15 mins - the chicken will be tender and the cooking liquid perfect for using in your broth.

    We enjoyed this a lot. I added more mushroom & some noodles and it went down very well. Liked the tip about boiling the chicken and using as stock. Will cook again

    Loved this - always buy a bigger chicken for roasts now so we can have this the following day for supper! Have added mangetout to add a touch of greenery.

    I tried this and it was really easy and very delicious! I poached the chicken in boiling water and used as stock, also shredded the chicken and added at the end. Tasted great!

    I substituted Soy sauce for the Thai fish sauce and everyone loves this soup. Very easy and quick to make - the chicken prepared according to the "Know-How" tip works very well. I am asked to make it regularly.

    Love this recipe - it's so quick to make. I always have it with sticky rice on the side, and i add peas and baby corn to the broth. Delicious.

    Made a veggie version of this by substituting chicken with cauldron tofu chunks, also added rice noodles. Was absolutely lovely!

    Very tasty, although the fish sauce did overpower the taste a little, would only add half the amount next time. I added soft noodles and baby sweetcorn to make it a bit more filling. Great idea with the chicken breast though!

    Really easy to make and so many ways to adapt the filling, I cooked mine with mushrooms but added in some ham just as I served it, lovely hot and sour dish. Would be great with prawns or with left over roast beef.

    This was very easy to make and really yummy. We used leftover chicken from our roast chicken dinner, we used only one lime, and we added Udon noodles. You'll need a spoon and a fork, or chopsticks!

    Delicious! Used lemon instead of lime, added noodles and went easy on the fish sauce. Next time I'll try adding other veg. Love the chicken know-how tip.
