There is minimal prep work for this soup as you just need to chop some vegetables and trim the chicken. Keep the vegetables in a consistent size so they cook fairly evenly and it’s easy to eat.
Add all of the vegetables, chicken, spices, and broth to the slow cooker. Then you just set it for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
Before having kids, I would made this soup with a sliced jalapeno so it could have some added heat. They don’t like things very spicy so now I omit it. Instead, I just add it to the soup for a garnish, or I use some Sriracha.
When the soup is done, remove the chicken to shred it. When you add the chicken back in, you will also add in t coconut milk and lime juice. The coconut helps mellow it all out but while the lime juice gives it a bit of a fresh zing.
Serve with rice or rice noodles. Garnish with lime, sliced jalapenos, and fresh basil.
