Thai Green Curry Chicken Noodle Soup

Thai Green Curry Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken noodle soup is often thought of as a common remedy for a cold, but green curry paste has beneficial ingredients in it as well. Green curry paste contains galangal, which stimulates digestion; tumeric, which detoxifies the body; and lemongrass, which is useful for fighting against colds, congestion, fever, cough and sore throats. In addition to adding many health benefits, green chili paste also adds incredible flavor to an already delicious soup.
