\"Thai<\/a><\/p>\n

Today’s recipe has it’s roots in a post written way back in April about planting cilantro seeds<\/a>. For several weeks, the chilly weather kept the seeds safely tucked in their dirt beds. But a couple weeks of warm days set them to sprouting and growing and waving their cute little scalloped leafs in the warm breeze.<\/p>\n

So many cute little scalloped leaves, in fact, that the frantic search for recipes that require massive quantities of cilantro has begun. Between needing to give the cilantro a haircut and a recent craving to recreate the flavors tasted in a Thai soup served at a restaurant we visited a few weeks back, my inclination was to give a chicken-coconut milk soup recipe a try. If possible, a very easy recipe for a first foray into a new cuisine.<\/p>\n

The recipe I worked off of comes from My Recipes<\/a>, and it turned out to be a good choice. Next time, I’ll spread my wings a little by adding noodles, more chili paste, and a few other culinary bells and whistles. Or maybe not, because this soup was very easy and tasty too.<\/p>\n

Thai Coconut Chicken Soup<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 can (13.5 oz.) coconut milk
\n1 can (14 oz.) chicken broth (I used homemade broth)
\n6 quarter-size slices fresh ginger
\n1 stalk fresh lemongrass, cut in 1-in. pieces
\n1\/2 pound boned, skinned chicken breast, cut into 1-inch chunks
\n1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
\n1 tablespoon Thai or Vietnamese fish sauce (nuoc mam or nam pla)
\n1 teaspoon sugar
\n1 teaspoon Thai chili paste
\n1\/4 cup fresh basil leaves
\n1\/4 cup fresh cilantro<\/p>\n

In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, broth, ginger, and lemongrass and bring to boil over high heat.<\/p>\n

\"broth,<\/a><\/p>\n

Add chicken, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and chili paste.<\/p>\n

\"fish<\/a><\/p>\n

Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is firm and opaque, 5 to 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"chicken<\/a><\/p>\n

Discard lemongrass. Garnish servings with basil and cilantro.<\/p>\n
