This Thai-inspired chicken noodle soup recipe is easy to make with whatever protein, veggies, and noodles you happen to have on hand and always tastes so fresh and flavorful!
When 5:00 hits and we find ourselves in need of a fast and flavorful dinner stat, this Thai-inspired noodle soup recipe is one of our family’s favorite fallbacks. ♡
I make it a point to always keep rice noodles, Thai curry paste, and coconut milk stocked in our pantry specifically so that we always have the base ingredients on hand to make this soup. Then we just add in whatever protein (chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, tofu, or chickpeas), veggies (perfect occasion to use up leftovers in the fridge) and greens we happen to have on hand. We simmer everything together in a rich and flavorful broth, thanks to the wonder ingredient dream team that is coconut milk and Thai curry paste (bonus if you have some garlic and ginger to add in). And finally, we serve these steaming bowls of noodle soup piled high with whatever fresh herbs, limes, and whatever toppings we happen to have on hand.
We’ve seriously made some version of this curry noodle soup recipe literally hundreds of times over the years. And it’s one of those fresh, flavorful, and feel-good dinners that never disappoints. (Bonus, the leftovers taste amazing too!) So if you need a guaranteed winner for dinner tonight, grab that Thai curry paste and let’s make a big pot of noodle soup together.
Here are a few brief notes about the ingredients you will need to make this Thai-inspired chicken soup recipe:
Full instructions for how to make Thai-inspired chicken noodle soup are included in the recipe below, but here are a few additional tips for making this soup:
Let any leftover soup cool to room temperature (or you can skip this step if your storage containers have vents that you can open). Then transfer the soup to a sealed storage container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. I recommend storing the noodles in a separate storage container so that they do not soak up all of the broth.
You can either reheat this soup in the microwave in 1-minute intervals or on the stovetop over medium-high heat until simmering.

I would have given this recipe five stars if the instructions had included the suggestion to ALWAYS keep the noodles separate and just add them to each serving. The first serving was perfect, but the next day it was not good. The noodles sucked up all the liquid. Not even adding more broth could salvage it because the noodles were just way too mushy. Honestly, I could have eaten it without noodles at all, it was that yummy. Damn those noodles!
★★★★
Addendum: I just looked at the recipe again in the TIPS section, and it does say to store the noodles separately. I guess I missed that. So let me modify my comment (since it was entirely my fault)….
Perhaps in Step 5, you can take out the instruction to add noodles (which implies ALL the noodles), and create extra step at the end to add a portio of noodles to each individual serving.
This would be great for those of us who focus on the directions and have forgotten about the tips by the time we’re in the kitchen! Especially because this is more than just a tip…it’s essential!
Made this tonight and it was great! Loved the bright flavor and it was so easy to make. Definitely recommend crushed peanuts on top for a nice crunchy texture. Will be added to our regular menu!

For those of you that missed where she said to keep noodles separate, it may help to read the whole recipe and her tips prior to prepping ingredients- I find this helps a lot! Sometimes I use the “jump to recipe” feature and things don’t go as well.
This soup was delicious and my whole family loved it! Although it seems complex, this soup was very easy to make and loaded with veggies which I love!

I made the soup tonight and it was delicious and my friends loved it. Ali, one of the things I like about your recipes beside being great is reading all tips and variations you recommend. Thanks.
