This Thai Chicken Soup recipe is sure to be a crowd pleaser. It’s bursting with flavor thanks to the combination of typical Thai ingredients. Plus, it’s quick and easy to make in an instant pot.

It’s finally fall down here in Texas (barely) which to me means it is soup season. We love Thai food which means I have your typical Thai ingredients on hand so I can whip up a curry. This time instead of curry I went with a soup made in an instant pot. Throw in more curry paste if you want your soup spicier.

Remove the top carefully.

Add lime juice, coconut milk, and stir to combine.

Side note: One of the best things about Thai cuisine is the ability to change it up however you like. Feel free to add in some of your favorite things to have in soup and you will be surprised how well it will go with it! For example, I love tomatoes but my kids do not. I throw some in mine and it’s wonderful.
