TigerChicken in coconut milk

so this soup is easily one of my favorites.... it is easy to make, it smells divine and taste just as good when done right... and as a bonus it is really easy to change it toward what you are keeping around the house.. anywho lets go look at some ingredients

for one person you would need around

100g       Chicken

5-7         Tiger prawns, cleaned up
50g         Onions, chopped
1-2         Cloves of garlic, finely chopped
100g       Mushrooms
150g       Carrots, diced
50g         Water chestnuts, sliced
1tsp        Green curry paste
4dl          Chicken stock
165 ml    Coconut milk
              The green of one spring onion
              Cooking oil
              Lime juice
              Ouster sauce or Fish sauce
              Salt and Pepper

well that was the easy part... now for the cooking part...

chicken is cut out in dices and scorched in a pot with onion and garlic (this is the first time we need some of that oil) when the surface is closed ad the curry paste and give it some heat while stirring it around.

add the coconut milk and the chicken stock and bring to a boil.

meanwhile saute the clean and slightly chopped mushrooms and water chestnuts in a pan. Preferable separately. When given some color add to the soup

lastly ad the carrots and the prawns after about a couple of minutes (given how finely diced the carrots are) the soup is basically done..

season with lime juice, fish sauce and salt and pepper.

serve in a bowl and sprinkle with spring onion and serve some good bread on the side....

well that is how simple it is... and trust me it is so good.. if you like it more spiced you can add chili and more garlic and even a little bit of ginger. Also to enhance the flavors try adding just a tiny bit off sugar.

anyway that was the first soup of this January.... Enjoy
