This is traditionally made with chicken, but I use whatever ingredients I have on hand. Tofu or mushrooms are good accompaniments or replaces for the meat in this soup. Shrimp would be a nice ingredient too. The base of this soup is lime juice, chicken broth and coconut milk. If you want to keep it vegetarian use vegetable broth. This soup takes only minutes to prepare but tastes best if it sits overnight.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cup chick broth or 1 bouillon and equivalent water
- 1 cup coconut milk
- lime juice to taste
- diced green or red bell peppers
- diced red onion
- red pepper flakes
- chopped cilantro
- salt
- pepper
- green onion
- diced tofu, chicken, mushrooms and/or shrimp
Directions:
- Heat chicken broth and coconut milk in a pot
- Sautee diced peppers and onions
- Lightly grill chicken/tofu/mushrooms
- Add lime juice, vegetables, and seasonings to pot
- Simmer for 5-10 mins
- Ideal if it sits overnight
Enjoy!
