Thai Mushroom Chicken Soup

The best thing about the winter time has to be the soups. Some of our favorite soups include:
 
 
However, this Thai Mushroom Chicken Soup is a new favorite. I’m adding to our list. It was a touch spicy for my kids, but you can easily adjust that (just use less Thai Kitchen Chili Paste). Anyway, it has so much flavor and plenty of bone broth. It does have a longer list of ingredients than my typical recipes, but this soup is a keeper and I’m excited to make it again.
 
I just used 1 pack of mushrooms, but I think next time I’ll use two. I mean, is there anything better than mushrooms sauteed in butter?

I like the Thai Kitchen Chili Paste, which is available at most grocery stores including Whole Foods and Publix. Or, you could use Mae Ploy Curry or Panang (which I get online). The Mae Ploy brands are a little spicy though.  I got the Mae Ploy Panang in attempt to recreate a Panang dish I had at one of my favorite restaurants, True Foods.  I will be hopefully making that this week.

Just to re-emphasize the hot warning if you use the WHOLE container of Mae Ploy instead of say just 2 teaspoons.  We learned the hard way back in 2013 (see old post here).  And by “we”…I really mean Tate.
 
Hard to believe that my little guy is turning 7 next week!! Thanks for always  being such a good sport, Tate!

Notes
  1. I added broccoli to it the first time I made it but think next time I will just double the mushrooms.
