Easy Thai Curry Chicken Soup

You guys, I’m going to let you in on a little secret…

I just threw this soup together tonight using leftover chicken and rice. I made it up as I went along but my kids all loved it so much, I thought I better try and remember what I did so I could replicate it in the future!

I used leftover chicken and rice from last night

It’s not that it had been sitting in the fridge that long, but it was starting to dry out, so I thought using it in a soup was the perfect solution. I wanted to create a Thai flavor using only what I had on hand. Hence the VERY basic ingredients in this soup!
