Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1 tbsp. coconut oil
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 red bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 large carrot, cut into thin 2″-long pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp. curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 2 (13.5-oz.) cans coconut milk (shaken well)
  • 3 cups Swanson Chicken Broth

Protein & Herbs

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish

Noodles & Garnish

  • 2 packages ramen noodles (seasoning packets reserved for another use)
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, red bell peppers, and carrots. Cook the vegetables until they are tender, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Season the Base: Stir in the curry powder and cayenne pepper, seasoning with kosher salt to taste. Mix everything together well to combine the spices with the sautéed vegetables.
  3. Add Liquids and Simmer: Pour in the shaken coconut milk and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  4. Cook the Noodles: Add the ramen noodles to the simmering soup. Let the noodles soften and begin to separate, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.
  5. Add Chicken and Herbs: Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and chopped cilantro. Continue cooking the soup until the noodles are al dente and the chicken is heated through.
  6. Serve with Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with additional fresh cilantro, and serve each bowl with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.

Notes

  • Reserve the ramen noodle seasoning packets for another use as they are not added to the soup.
  • If you prefer less spice, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for convenience, or substitute with cooked chicken breast or thighs.
  • Adding fresh lime juice right before serving brightens the flavors and balances the richness of the coconut milk.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
