This warmly spiced Coconut and Chicken Noodle Soup is absolutely delicious and as happy at a midweek meal as taking centre stage at a dinner party. Perhaps one amongst friends though as the noodles can require a little slurping at times! Full of incredible Thai flavours this soup is a real crowd pleaser.

Notes
Obvs the level of heat in this Thai Soup is up to you. Feel free to add more or less. You can play around with the paste too. Add real Chillis, Ginger whatever floats your Thai boatI have said that this amount feeds six. It does so easily.You could serve this as a Starter too. Obvs in half sized portions. This will sit as left overs in the fridge so I am never concerned if I have over catered.
