Thai Green Curry Chicken Soup

This soup is a riff on Tom Kha Gai. It is a 30 minute meal, if you have leftover rotisserie chicken.

Notes:

– Thai is about balancing salty, sweet, spicy, and savory. You may need to add more lime, fish sauce, green curry paste or salt and pepper. Trust your tastebuds.

– I used Thai Kichen’s Green Curry Paste, Red Boat Fish Sauce, Coconut Cream from Trader Joe’s, Simple Truth Canned Coconut Milk, Simple Truth Chicken Broth, Simple Truth Rotisserie Chicken

-This Recipe is flexible with whatever veggies you have on hand. I’ve used Zucchini, Mushrooms, Bell Peppers, Spinach, Shredded Carrots, Broccoli they all work.

– If you heat the soup up too high, the Coconut Milk will separate a little bit, and look oily. It’s still tastes the same just doesn’t look as pretty.

– If serving to non keto people I usually serve it with jasmine rice.
