Whether you're craving Thai-inspired comfort or just need to use up some vegetables, this Creamy Chicken Ramen Soup delivers big on flavor with minimal effort. Grab a spoon—you're going to want seconds.

Creamy Chicken Ramen Soup

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced small
• 2 red bell peppers, seeded and deveined, diced small
• 1 large carrot, julienned into 2-inch matchsticks
• 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Kosher salt
• 2 (13.5-ounce) cans coconut milk, well shaken
• 3 cups Swanson Chicken Broth
• 2 packages ramen noodles, seasoning packets set aside for another use
• 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus extra for garnish
• Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

Step 1

Grab a large pot and set it over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil, then toss in your diced onion, bell pepper, and carrots. Let them cook, stirring every now and then, until they've softened and the edges start to look a little golden — about 6 to 8 minutes. Once the veggies are tender, add your minced garlic and stir constantly for about 1 minute, just until your kitchen fills with that irresistible garlicky aroma. Sprinkle in the curry powder and a pinch of cayenne, then season everything with salt to taste.

Step 2

Pour your milk and chicken broth into the pot and crank the heat to medium-high. You'll want to watch for small bubbles forming around the edges — that's your cue that it's ready to simmer, not boil. Once it's gently bubbling, add your noodles and give everything a good stir so they don't clump together. Let them soften for about a minute, then toss in your shredded chicken and a handful of fresh cilantro. Keep stirring occasionally and cook until the noodles are tender with just a little bite, about 2 minutes total.

Step 3

Grab a small bunch of fresh cilantro and pull off the tender leaves, leaving the woody stems behind. Scatter those leaves over each bowl of ramen right before you bring it to the table — the residual heat will gently wilt them and wake up their bright, peppery aroma. Slice a lime into six wedges and arrange them on a small plate or tuck them alongside the bowls so everyone can squeeze fresh juice over their soup to taste. That little hit of acidity cuts through the richness of the creamy broth and makes every spoonful feel lighter and more vibrant.

My Tip

Don't skip toasting the curry powder in the oil for a full minute before adding the liquid — it blooms the spices and gives the broth that deep, golden warmth you can't get any other way.

Leftovers

This soup keeps beautifully for up to 4 days in a glass container with a tight lid — the glass won't absorb those fragrant curry spices the way plastic can. Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium-low, stirring often, until it's just steaming; the coconut milk can separate if you rush it with high heat.

Make It Your Own

Swap the rotisserie chicken for crispy baked tofu cubes and use tamari instead of soy sauce to make this cozy bowl completely plant-based and gluten-free.
