This Thai Chicken Soup is one of my absolute favorites, and I can claim that it is my own recipe. It’s
really a creamy chicken and rice soup with a Thai flair. As far as any type of Asian cuisine goes,
in general I’m pretty picky. I like to think myself an adventurous eater, but take me to a Thai, Indian or
Sushi restaurant and I’m surprisingly timid.
Most of my friends devour sushi like it’s candy. I’ve tried, I really have. I’ve gotten to the point where I’ll
eat veggie sushi… if I have to. I think it’s the “fishy” flavor of the seaweed wrap that I can’t get past. As
far as Thai flavors, it’s mostly the sweet-salty-spicy thing that appeals to me, not the fish sauce.
So this soup is not authentic Thai, but rather my own personal preference of Thai flavors. My family
gobbled it up, and I’m confident you will too. Soups always seem to be my go-to meal when back-to-
school time rolls around too. I like that there are always leftovers for quick and easy lunches the rest
of the week. Plus a pot of soup is a great thing to keep warm on the stove (or in the slow cooker) when
hectic after-school schedules start interfering with dinner time. Enjoy!

My husband will love this! Pinning for others, printing for myself! Thanks for sharing!
I think I’ll just have soup, salad and frozen desserts for the rest of the month! This Thai soup looks delicious! We actually love seaweed and fish sauce, but not raw fish. It’s great that you’ve been willing to try new things though! Thanks for the recipe.
Ohhh, no need to go to a Thai resto! I’ll definitely try this. :)
