Thai soups are so ridiculously light and flavorful that they sometimes seem too good to be true. Chicken and veggies provide plenty of nutrients and protein while contributing almost no carbohydrates to the meal, and the spread of Thai spices used in the curry paste delivers bold, robust flavors in each and every bite.
The recipe below is from Karen Petersen at 365 Days of Slow Cooking, and it's packed with mouth-watering ingredients, but the true star is the flavorful broth. This soup is very light and won't leave you feeling heavy, so you won't feel bad going back for seconds!
