i love anything involving curry, coconut, noodles and soup. if it has cilantro in it, well, that’s just an added bonus.
for my 3rd crock pot recipe of the week, curried coconut chicken noodle soup. this is a great recipe to throw together when you have no time.
although i browned my chicken, if you had chicken already made, or planned to make this and was passing a store that sold pre-cooked chicken, grab it because all that means is less time to spend on this fabulous soup!
{crock pot} curried coconut chicken noodle soup adapted from art of the slow cooker
- if you are using raw chicken, heat up some olive oil in a pan and brown on both sides. add to the crock pot. in the same skillet add a touch of olive oil and saute onions, peppers and garlic for about 4-5 minutes. stir into the skillet; grated ginger and curry powder, cook for a few moments and add to the crock pot.
- cover the chicken and onion mixture with stock. cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4-8 hours.
- about 15 minutes before you are ready to serve, take out chicken, let it cool and then shred.
- meanwhile,measure, add and mix; coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, sriracha, lime juice and brown sugar. mix into crock pot, and cook on high for 15 minutes.
- add the chicken back to the crock pot, if you were using pre-made chicken this would be the time to add it to the pot.
- in a separate pot, boil some water and add your noodles, when done, place in bowls.
- when soup is finished, stir in cilantro, ladle over noodles and enjoy.
sriracha & lime juice – when do you add?
Where do I find sriracha? If you add the noodles to the crock pot 30 minutes before eating you can save a pot to wash. Can’t wait to make this. It sounds yummy!
when you add the soy, peanut butter, etc, add the siriacha and lime. if you add the noodles to the crock pot they will get mushy and soak up to much of the soup. i highly recommend cooking the noodles separately.
Meredith, loving the new blog look although I do miss being able to view it through my reader and not having to go to the site to get the full post. I have been craving something with coconut milk so this recipe came at the perfect time. I wanted immediate satisfaction so I made it on the cook top in about 35 minutes. All I had was frozen tricolored peppers. I added some extra veggies that needed to be used up (carrots, celery, scallions) and used GF soy and rice noodles to make it gluten free. Yummy! The kids though it was a bit spicy so I might use less sriracha next time but I loved it! I just bought a smaller crock pot so I can make items that I want to try that only I will eat!
Hey Lisa, do you mean the emails? If so, I am working on it. Somethings transitioned easily, somethings not (i lost my first month of blogging). Glad you liked the recipe!
Meredith, this is absolutely wonderful! I also couldn’t wait and so made it on the stovetop instead of the crockpot…but used all the same ingredients, and it tasted so good! So rich and creamy and spicy and good. I can’t wait to try your other crockpot recipes. Thanks so much for writing this blog.
Thank you for reading Sandi
Any special curry powder? What type of noodles? I going to get these two ingredients. Making it tomorrow.
I use a hot madras curry powder, but any will do. For noodles go thin, I prefer an angel hair type, I use a thin style Japanese style noodle.
This soup was incredible! I give it a 10!
We all loved it! I will def make it again!
thanks @Jennifer and @Aileen! Glad you liked it.
OMG! I just made this!! WOW! I feel so cool!
What kind of peanut butter do you use?
Creamy peanut butter
Thank you
Yumyum! This looks absolutely amazing!
This sounds really great! I just made pad thai at home the other night. The peanut flavor adds so much to overall taste!!! I absolutely love it, I can’t wait to give this recipe a try. I bet that using crunchy peanut butter wouldn’t be bad either…with a tablespoon or two of added chopped peanuts! Great addition to oriental soups!
I absolutely love this flavour combination. Chapeau bas!
I love Noodles… Brilliantly done…
Now I have something to do on the weekend. Thank you for this, I hope my family would love this.
can you make this on the stove top instead of a crockpot?
You totally can!
I really really really love this soup! It’s my new favorite recipe. I’m pretty sure I’ve made it every week for the past 5 weeks! Thanks!
