Nothing beats the comforting and soothing feeling that a bowl of creamy coconut chicken soup can bring. Cozy up and enjoy this Thai-inspired chicken soup with homemade bread.
|
- Melt the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes, until slightly softened.
- Add in leek and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring. Add in chopped chicken, stock, and herbs. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Remove from the heat and process with an immersion hand blender until smooth. Season the soup with salt and pepper and warm over low heat for 5 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk and cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and ladle into serving bowls. Garnish with sprig of thyme and serve immediately.

Oh yes! Simple but the soup looks delicious, rich, and creamy. Wouldn't mind having a bowl (or two). Have a good week ahead, Angie! :)

Lovely twist to cream of chicken soup...looks beautiful!
coconut chicken soup sounds delicious with the bread!
This recipe is a keeper! Creamy coconut would go so well with the comforting chicken =)
Creamy and rich soup, I like the coconut milk twist. It looks so delicious, I would leave in few whole chicken pieces though to munch on :)
That's really interesting - I've never thought about making a Western-flavoured chicken soup with coconut milk before, but I love tom kha gai so I know it would be good.
A comforting and delicious sounding soup! So luscious.
Cheers,
Rosa
What a beautiful and delicious comfort food!
One of my favourite soups Angie but I have never thought to make it using coconut milk before, it must be even nicer!

This is so good for me right now. Nothing is better than a chicken soup when you have a cold. Love the creaminess of this soup!
Wow coconut milk? That's a great ingredient for creaminess.. love that tip thanks...
Delicious flavors, never thought to use coconut milk! This looks so thick and creamy.
Very yummy looking Angie, we are thinking alike this week - I made a coconut soup also, mine with parsnips and apples but quite similar! I'm such a sucker for Thai flavors!
Love the coconut in this. I could use a bowl right now with our cool weather.

This soup must be so deliciously comforting! I'd love a cup or a bowl!
I absolutely love Thai-inspired dishes. You made the cream of chicken soup gain a whole new (and much more appealing) meaning by using coconut milk. I could use a bowl of this right now.

Such a simple and satisfying fall course. Thank you so much for sharing...what a delicious way to end my weekend. I hope you have a beautiful Monday, my friend!
Love this hearty bowl of soup. I notice you do use coconut oil in your cooking pretty often. I am wondering if its because there are some special health benefits to it? I know coconut milk is not so healthy if consumed regularly, but someone has mentioned to me before that coconut oil is not the same...
Must be creamy and full of coconut flavor; loving coconut oil almost in every dish : ).
creamy and thick is how I like it too! love the addition of coconut here, angie!
am a little curious about the taste of coconut milk in chicken soup but that bowl of soup looks very appealing! i also love the rolls at the background!
What a good alternative to the usual chicken soup, a soup with coconut milk! I do use a lot of coconut milk and I will surely give it a try!!
Angie , this soup looks and I'm sure tastes much more better than my fave Campbell's ! lol Love the addition of coconut milk :D Need to look for that coconut oil ! Presentation so as the photos look awesome as always !
Cream chicken soup is a very popular soup in Colombia....Your version is delicious, Angie!
Mine would be veggie "chicken" but this looks so comforting with the weather turning chilly. BTW, I love the AE quote:-D
I've never had chicken soup with coconut, but it sounds amazing!!
First I thought it was the usual cream chicken soup, but then I realized u add coconut. That sounds very sexy to me! ^.^

So simple and elegant... and I can imagine how the herbs would play beautifully in this soup. I wish I had a bowl right now! :).
Oh my, Angie - the day we go below 60 degrees, this is warming up my stove.

Nope, nothing beats this on these chillier fall nights! Love the coconut flavors!
I love it! Coconut milk in chicken soup. What a super idea, Angie. Very unusual and there's nothing more comforting for lunch than cream of chicken soup.
I made a chicken soup on Sunday too! Your creamed one looks perfect! Chicken soup is my favorite in any form and texture!
The coconut oil and milk is brilliant! I can't imagine how creamy this tastes. I could really cozy up with a bowl of this lovely soup!
Way to go in adding an exotic twist to the hum-drum chicken soup. Yummy Thai flavors.
I bet the coconut milk made this creamy soup extra special.
great soup and love the bowls
Any soup with coconut milk rocks my socks right off!
I cannot remember if I commented on this yet or not, if I have already I am doing it again. This just looks so amazing. Perfect for the chilly Fall days!

Thai flavors in a comforting bowl of cream of chicken soup, yum, please pass the spoon;-)
I added a bit of lemongrass to this recipe and it was amazing. Love the recipe!!
These beautiful photos are so inviting! I have never had chicken soup flavored with coconut milk, but since I love chicken curry I'd most likely love this one!
This looks so warm and comforting. Thanks!
must be ultra-aromatic with the coconut oil and milk.
Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe. I am Irene from Los Angeles. I tried this recipe today at home and my family loved it.
I adore the Thyme, Leek and Coconut Oil in this---sounds super delicious!
