Thai Chicken Vegetable Soup

Sharing is caring!

 

We have been hit hard by a nasty virus. My oldest daughter came down with it first, it was relentless for a solid week, after about 5 days she developed ear infections. Around the time of her ear infections, the rest of us started dropping like flies. It is a miserable cold that once takes hold doesn’t want to let up.

I decided we needed chicken soup, and probably Lysol, but mostly chicken soup.

This Thai Chicken Vegetable Soup relies heavily on Thai Ginger Flavor Infused Broth, it is already infused with traditional Thai flavors, so this soup stirs up fast and is perfect for busy weeknights. There is a little “heat” to this soup, although not so much my kids would not eat it, but that extra little kick rounds out the flavors of the soup and helped clear up our head colds!
