Instructions
Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon coconut oil.
Add 1/2 sweet onion (diced), 3 garlic cloves (minced), 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced), 1/2 cup baby carrots (sliced into rounds), and 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in 2 tablespoons red curry paste and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Pour in 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken stock and 1 (14-ounce) can full-fat or light coconut milk (your preference!). Add 1/3 cup sugar snap peas and 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken breast. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes to heat the chicken and soften the snap peas.
Taste the soup and add more salt and pepper if needed.
Add the spiralized zucchini (use 1 or even 2 zucchini squash, spiralized, depending on how many you want). Stir the zoodles into the hot soup and cook uncovered just until warmed and slightly tender but still a bit crisp, about 1–2 minutes.
Remove from heat and divide among bowls. Top each bowl with 3 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro and 2 green onions (sliced). Serve immediately with lime wedges or halves for spritzing.
If you plan to reheat leftovers, store zoodles separately and add only as much as you will eat to the hot soup when reheating to prevent them from becoming mushy.
