Thai Chicken Soup is a lightened up, and super easy to make, version of Thai chicken curry. It's also one of the few slow cooker chicken recipes that cooks for 8-10 hours so you can pop everything in before work and come home to dinner. This has turned into one of our favorite healthy recipes!

A blue bowl filled with crockpot Thai chicken soup with a spoon it it on a black wooden table.

The healthy January eats continue! Don't worry, what I've made for you today may be lightened up, but it's 100% delicious. It's also a winter approved, warm you up recipe that is insanely easy to make.

I've been toying with another Thai crockpot recipe ever since the Crock Pot Thai Chicken Curry shot up to the #1 viewed recipe on the blog. My original thought was to create a veggie Thai curry, but that didn't work out so well. It was important to me that the recipe be able to cook in your slow cooker for 8-10 hours. (Who's got time to run home at lunch to turn on the crockpot?)

Thing is, all my attempts at cooking vegetables in a crock pot for 8-10 hours resulted in mushy, overcooked veggies. I ate each attempt (hate wasting food) but I would never suggest that you make anything so blah. I'm determined to find a way and will let you know once I've nailed it.

This Crock Pot Thai Chicken Soup is made by slowly cooking chicken thighs in Thai flavors until they are falling apart tender. When you get home from work, take out the chicken and shred it with two forks. Pour some coconut milk into the crockpot and let it warm then serve yourself a delicious dinner.

I like to serve this with a handful of rice vermicelli noodles, but you could sub rice or quinoa. To keep this a paleo recipe, omit the noodles or use zucchini noodles instead.

I promised you guys that I wouldn't turn this into a mommy blog and talk constantly about my daughter. I think I've done reasonably well, considering how super adorable and completely awesome she is. Now that she's started eating, all bets are off. Food has always been a social experience for me and one best shared with friends and family.

Getting to share all my meals with the cutest little girl is seriously the best ever.

We skipped over all the bland food and one ingredient at a time thing. (I never have been one to follow the rules.) Right from her first bites she exactly ate what we ate. We eat a lot of Thai curry around here, and it's one of her favorites, too. I tone down the spiciness a touch (honestly, not much) and am surprised every time she devours a bowl of the richly flavored, spicy coconut broth. Few things make me happier than watching her love food as much as I do.
