We went looking for a thick Thai curry dish and found a soup. This is a nice chicken soup with a bit of pleasant zing from the green curry paste. If you are looking for a variation on chicken soup, this is a worthy recipe. While the chicken soup was very flavorful, it didn’t scratch our curry itch.
