Thai Coconut Soup




Once again, I let you all decide what was for dinner and the unanimous vote was Thai Coconut Soup! Traditionally when made, this dish called "Tom Kah" is SUPER complex with fish sauces and chili pastes and lemon grass... enough to make you grab the Thai takeout menu and just order in!

Here's a super simple way to get all that yummy flavor in a pinch and for a penny! (ok, a few bucks)

Serves 2

Ingredients:
fresh ginger
madras curry paste
1 lime
1 can of coconut milk
1/2 can chicken broth
crushed red peppers (Sambal)
cilantro
Thai basil (optional)
green onion
salt
brown sugar
