Curry Noodle Soup

Note: This soup is excellent! For leftovers, the noodles soak up a lot of the liquid, but it still tastes great!!

3 cups canned unsweetened coconut milk
1-2 TBS Thai red curry paste (I prefer 1 TBS so it is less spicy)
1 TBS Tumeric
2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips (canned chicken works great)
1 cup reduced sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
2 TBS fish sauce (don't worry: this soup does not even taste fishy)
2 TBS soy sauce
1 tsp salt
3/4 lb egg noodles
1 TBS dry basil
2 green onions, thinly sliced

1. In a lg sauce pan, bring 1/2 c coconut milk to a boil. Add red curry paste and tumeric, stir to combine. Cook until mixture starts to thicken (about 3 min).
2. Add chicken. Add remaining coconut milk, broth, fish sauce, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook chicken about 8 min.
3. Add salt and egg noodles to boiling water. Cook until al dente. Garnish with basil and green onions.
