Easy step by step video to show you how to make Thai Chicken Coconut Soup in your Instant Pot
Memories of Thailand. I had some of the best times travelling in Thailand. You know you’re getting older when you start a sentence with ‘back when I was young…’ and that is how my story starts. Back when I was young, I travelled to Thailand and had a blast volunteering my time to help build a house, along with experiencing the Thai food and culture. I really had such a great time! Now, eating this Thai Chicken Coconut Soup really does bring back memories. I won’t be visiting Thailand anytime soon, so in the meantime, this bowl of soup will have to suffice.
