So living in Texas it is HOT right now. I’m talking really HOT! The last few days it has been raining and all I want is soup and pretend it is a nice cool fall day. So I decided to make a Disney World Copycat recipe. Well, I’m happy to say that this is the best soup I’ve ever eaten! That is not the pregnant taste buds talking either. My kids and husband loved it as much as I did!

Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
looks good! but is the coconut milk the thinner kind in a big container from the refrigerated dairy section or the stuff that comes in a can? thanks!
I just made this tonight and I almost bought the refrigerator kind but realized it was probably the one from the asian food aisle in the can…right choice…def needed thickness of the canned coconut milk. But…directions leave out the directions for the olive oil?? Is it to sear the chicken? And…are the veggies added raw?
Sear chicken until it’s 3/4 done? Cook until check is done. I wish the directions were a little more detailed.
Cook until chicken, not check, is done. Sorry for the type.
Can I throw this all in a crockpot? 4 hours fresh if with frozen chicken breast for 8 hours?
I made this and it was delicious!! My 5 yr old liked it too!
I realize this recipe is 2 years old… but I stumbled on it in my desperate search to find a recipe for Disneyland’s Thai Coconut Curry rice bowls. Any thoughts on how to convert this into more of a sauce? I have a craving that nothing will satisfy and a 10 hour drive with my 3 kids for a rice bowl just doesn’t seem right haha
Hi Carly. We don’t have a copycat recipe for Disneyland’s Thai Coconut Curry Rice bowls. But we’ll be on the lookout.
How long do you need to cook the chicken and when do you use the oil? Lazy recipe.
The oil is used to sear the chicken and you just cook the soup until the chicken is cooked through. It should take about 10-15 minutes
