Keto Bone Broth Red Thai Curry Chicken Soup

There is something so comforting about a hearty bowl of red thai chicken curry from your takeout joint, but you know what’s even better? Skipping the rice and eating a huge bowl of Thai-inspired keto red curry chicken soup that’s made with healthy bone broth and packed with delicious Thai curry flavor! 

I love Thai curries so much and the idea of turning a red thai chicken curry into a comforting soup sounded like absolute heaven to me.

If you have never had red curry paste this keto bone broth curry soup is a great first introduction. Red curry paste has a delicious flavor. For those of you, who don’t love spicy food, this is a good recipe as it is milder than green curry.

Is Red Thai Curry paste hot? 

While one may assume Thai Red Curry is fiery hot it is not! It is actually quite mild, and generally, most restaurants tend to stick with the mild level of spiciness though you will find some restaurants that dial up the heat considerably.

What’s in Red Curry Paste

If you have never used red curry paste before it is absolutely delicious. This Thai spice paste is made from red pepper, garlic, lemongrass, galangal (Thai ginger), and makrut or kaffir lime leaves. Traditionally, there are also some spices added:  coriander, turmeric, black peppercorn, and cumin. YUM! 

For this keto bone broth curry soup recipe, I used cock curry paste. Those are the big plastic containers with the rooster logo that come in various colors. The ingredients are red chili pepper, shallots, garlic, lemongrass, galangal, salt, spices, and kaffir lime leaves. All keto! 

I like to keep a jar of red curry paste in my pantry at all times. You can combine coconut milk and red curry paste to make a quick curry with protein and veggies, or add it to a stir-fry or marinade for even more flavor.

What to do with leftover Thai Curry Paste?

Leftovers keep in the fridge and can be used in so many ways.

  • Add a bit of curry paste to mayo for your lunch sandwiches.
  • A small spoonful added to your eggs before frying will change your scrambled eggs forever.
  • Stir some into creamy pasta sauce
  • Add some to butter to create a delicious Thai compound butter for grilled chicken, shrimp, or fish.

Where Can I Buy Red Curry Paste?

You can find red curry paste in most grocery stores. Just look in the Asian aisle of your local grocery store. It’s usually close to the canned coconut milk.

When you are buying canned coconut milk for this recipe, the best kind to use in this keto thai coconut soup is the full-fat variety. Full-fat coconut milk has a higher concentration of coconut and lower water content which helps make soup perfectly creamy.

How to make Keto Bone Broth Curry Soup

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot add in ½ tbsp of coconut or avocado oil and then add the onion, ginger, and garlic and fry for about 2 minutes (pic 1).
  • Add curry leaves. Add some more oil and stir in the curry paste. Fry the curry paste in the oil for about 1 minute. (pic 2)
  • Add chicken and fry for a minute (pic 3).

    Season with salt while they cook.
  • Add the tomato puree, then chicken bone broth, fish sauce, and coconut aminos along with your curry powder and assorted veggies (asparagus, zucchini, broccoli) to the pot. (pic 5)

  • Let the soup come to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the soup simmer for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Add the coconut milk towards the end along with the lime juice.
  • Give it a taste and add more salt or fish sauce if you want the soup to be a bit saltier. I add some keto sweetener to balance out the acidity.
  • Finish the soup off with more fresh lime juice, green onion, and cilantro. Enjoy!
After that, it’s just ladling the soup into bowls and top with all of your favorite toppings. We went with cilantro, Thai basil, and sliced serranos but you have a few more options:
 

Tips: 

  • For a meatless version, use tofu instead of chicken.
  • If you have leftover rotisserie chicken, add that instead of the chicken breast. 
  • For a shrimp keto curry soup, add shrimp in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
