Easy Keto Thai Khao Soi Soup

Khao Soi is a Northern Thai chicken noodle soup dish traditionally served on soft egg noodles. To make this a Keto Khao Soi soup, chicken drumsticks are braised in a creamy red curry coconut base, then served over miracle noodles to keep this dish low carb. Bring out the flavors of this Keto Thai recipe by garnishing it with fried chilies, freshly diced shallots, cilantro, and lime juice.

What kind of chicken should I use? Traditionally, Khao Soi is served with chicken, and this recipe uses chicken drumsticks and/or thighs. Bone-in meat is preferred as it adds more flavor to the stock; however, you can also use chicken breast or another protein of choice, like pork, prawn, tofu, or veggies like broccoli and cauliflower florets are also great options.

**How to store Khao Soi Soup? Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. To reheat, return to the stove and heat through until piping hot.

Does the recipe freeze well? Yes! First, allow the dish to cool to room temperature before transferring all of it, or dividing it into portions into freezer-safe containers. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

  • Step 1

    Add the avocado oil to a small pan set over medium-low heat. Add the chili flakes and coat in the oil. Saute the chili flakes until they just begin to darken and smell smokey. If it looks dry, add another tablespoon of oil. Keep stirring and ensure they don't burn. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl immediately.
