Notes
This soup is similar to a soup I order all the time from my favorite Thai restaurant. It’s simple, comforting, and has a bright mix of flavors. This soup can easily be made in the slow cooker or on the stovetop, especially if you’re using pre-cooked chicken. You can cook the chicken separately, or peel it off a rotisserie chicken (my favorite way!).
