Need to share this scrumptious-ness now...before "soup season" in the Valley of the Sun comes to an end. **'twas more than a tad bit warm here today!
COCONUT-LIME CHICKEN SOUP
So good, I've decided that during soup off-season, I'm going to fix it anyway...a love thing.
It's quick & easy. I dare you to try it and not fall head-over-heels.
Ingredients:
~2 large chicken breasts, cooked
~1 15 oz. can unsweetened coconut milk
~2 cups water
~1/4 lime juice (1 large lime)
~3 medium carrots, thin-sliced diagonally
~1 Tbsp. soy sauce
~2 tsp. Thai seasoning blend (I used more...and added extra curry)
~1/4 tsp. salt
Optional garnishes: fresh cilantro, lime wedges, Thai seasoning blend
Shred Chicken. In large saucepan combine all ingredients. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, 8 minutes or until carrots are crisp-tender. Garnish & serve.
This makes 4 servings...I advise you to double the recipe :) It's even better the next day!
I served it with crusty bread. Next time I'm serving it with a side of rice...the way Mexican soups are served on the border. Each person can then decide to mix it in with the soup or eat separately. Either way...yumm!

Oh I can't wait to try this!! It may one of the [few!] soups that Cliff would consider a meal. He's a meat and potato kinda guy, what can I say. But for the love of lime...
Use lots of chicken...I can guarantee, he'll love this one!
Coconut Soup is one of my favorite Thai dishes. I make it at home, but it's much better in Thailand. I buy the 'Taste of Thai' coconut ginger soup base, which then calls for some chicken, coconut milk, and chicken broth. I've put onions and mushrooms, which they do at the resterants, but my kids like it better without. Sometimes I'll mix rice in just to thicken it up. I'll have to try your recipe next time. I love limes too!
