Jamie Oliver Thai Chicken Soup is a Thai-inspired soup made with chicken, coconut milk, aromatic spices, and fresh herbs. It’s gently simmered so the broth stays clear and fragrant while the chicken remains tender.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • 1 onion, finely sliced

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

    • 1 red chilli, finely sliced

    • 1 tablespoon red curry paste

    • 400 ml coconut milk

    • 600 ml chicken stock

    • Juice of 1 lime

    • 1 tablespoon fish sauce

    • Fresh coriander leaves

    • Salt and black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Build the flavour base

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and chilli, cooking gently until fragrant.

Step 2: Add curry paste

Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1–2 minutes. This helps release the spices and deepen the flavour of the soup.

Step 3: Add liquids

Pour in the chicken stock and coconut milk. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 4: Cook the chicken

Add the sliced chicken to the simmering broth. Cook gently for 8–10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked but still tender.

Step 5: Balance the flavours

Stir in the lime juice and fish sauce. Taste and adjust with salt or extra lime if needed. The flavour should feel balanced and fresh.

Step 6: Finish and serve

Remove from the heat and scatter fresh coriander on top. Serve hot while the aroma is at its peak.
