A healthy and delicious Chicken Laksa soup recipe that will be a hit with the family. Packed with veggies and noodles and the traditional spicy coconut flavours.
A delicious bowl of chicken laksa soup from your local takeaway is always yummy, but you can easily make it at home to get your laksa fix! This soup recipe only takes about half an hour from start to finish, and is easy to make. Both delicious and nutritious with fresh veggies and the Malaysian style spicy and coconut flavours.
I always like to cook a traditional style chicken soup for my tribe during winter. Particularly when someone’s not well, I find soup not only soothes the throat but can help with the decongestion. However, a chicken laksa with a little bit of a kick takes it a step further helping clear that blocked nose! This is a great soup for just that!
