This variation transforms the classic thick green curry into a silken, drinkable soup perfect for a lighter meal. It balances the heat of green chiles with sweet coconut milk and aromatic herbs for a warming weeknight dinner.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the Thai green curry paste and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sliced chicken breast and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring to coat in the paste.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the coconut milk, bamboo shoots, and red bell pepper.
Simmer gently for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
Stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar, adjusting to taste.
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh lime juice.
Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
