Preparation
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat butter, tallow, or coconut oil over medium-high. Add chicken and sear 4–5 minutes until lightly browned (does not need to be fully cooked). Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add curry paste, garlic, and ginger. Cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in coconut milk and chicken broth, whisking until smooth.
Add onion, bell pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, and fish sauce. Return chicken to the pot. Simmer 20 minutes on medium heat until chicken is tender and soup slightly thickens.
Stir in lime juice and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Ladle into bowls and garnish with cilantro, Thai basil, lime wedges, or extra chili slices.
