Coconut Chicken Soup

---

This soup is my attempt to replicate something similar I tried in a Thai restaurant, and I have to say, it’s pretty darn close!

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 Tbsp fresh grated ginger
• 2 tsp red thai curry paste
• 5 1/2 c chicken broth
• 2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1/2 lb button mushrooms, quartered
• 6 oz cooked chicken breast, diced
• 2 cans (400 ml) coconut milk
• 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1/4 c cilantro, minced

Directions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add ginger and red thai curry paste.
2. Add chicken stock, hoisin sauce and brown sugar, and simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Add mushrooms and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Add chicken, coconut milk and lime juice. Simmer for another 10 minutes.
5. Add cilantro and serve hot.
