Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium heat.
Add the red curry paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the baby corn, red bell pepper, carrot, and bamboo shoots to the pot. Simmer for 6-8 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional fish sauce or sugar, if necessary.
Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil leaves and cilantro.
Serve hot in bowls, garnished with extra basil or cilantro if desired. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for added brightness.
Optionally, serve with a side of cooked jasmine rice for a more filling meal.
