THAI CHICKEN AND COCONUT MILK SOUP



Thai Chicken and Coconut Milk Soup image

Provided by Food Network

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 cups chicken stock
Zest of 3 large limes
Zest of 3 large lemons
6 heaping tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh ginger root
3 hot green chiles, halved and seeded (preferably jalapeno)
3/4 cup chopped cilantro stems and roots, washed carefully
3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, half-frozen
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon Nam Pla, bottled Thai fish sauce
Finely chopped scallion and cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the chicken stock in a heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add the lime peel, lemon peel, ginger root, green chiles, and the cilantro stems and roots. Bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer and cook until reduced to 3 cups. Press occasionally on the solids with a wooden spoon to release flavor. Working with a sharp knife, cut the chicken breasts into broad slices, as thin as possible. Salt lightly, and reserve in refrigerator. When broth is reduced, strain into a measuring cup. Press on the solids in the strainer with a wooden spoon. Place the coconut milk in the soup pot over medium heat. Slowly stir in the reduced broth. Warm rapidly but do not allow to boil (otherwise the coconut milk will separate). When the soup is just below the boiling point, add the chicken slices. Remove from heat after 30 seconds (or when the chicken is just cooked through). Just before serving, mix together the lime juice and sugar in a small bowl. Blend in the fish sauce. Pour mixture into hot soup, season to taste and garnish soup with a little bit of chopped scallion and cilantro leaves. Yield: 6 first-course servings.
  • Optional step: If your soup has curdled a bit, or if you'd like a fluffier texture in the soup, before you add the chicken, place the soup in a blender at high speed for 30 seconds. Then return to pot, add chicken and proceed as before. As an appetizer: Looks lovely served individually in six wide, shallow soup bowls. Great starter for many kinds of meals, not just Thai. As a main course: By doubling the amount of chicken and keeping the same amount of liquid, you convert this soup practically into a stew. The six wide, shallow bowls still work well; place a half-cup of steamed white rice to one side in each bowl, then divide the soup/stew among the bowls. Serve a tomato salad on the side that has been dressed with lime juice, sugar, fish sauce, and topped with chopped peanuts and minced cilantro. If you can get the Thai ingredients: for the lime and lemon peel, substitute 3/8 cup Keffir lime leaves, 2 lemon grass stalks chopped, 3 thick slices dried galanga root.

Tips for Making the Best Chicken and Coconut Milk Soup:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken, vegetables, and herbs will give your soup the best flavor.
  • Choose the right coconut milk: Use unsweetened coconut milk for a lighter soup. For a richer soup, use full-fat coconut milk.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through.
  • Add vegetables that will hold their shape: Vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and broccoli will hold their shape well in this soup.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lime juice or a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Conclusion:

This chicken and coconut milk soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its creamy texture and flavorful broth, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. Additional Tips:
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs. Just use about half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • If you want a thicker soup, you can add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Bring the soup to a boil, then whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Cook the soup for 1-2 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
  • This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve. Just let the soup cool completely, then store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the soup over medium heat until warmed through.
