COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP



Coconut Curry Chicken Noodle Soup image

This sweet, spicy and fragrant chicken soup, called curry mee, is a happy contrast of hot broth, springy noodles and a madness of garnishes. Coconut milk has a particular weighty creaminess, called lemak, that can make some curries and soups too rich. Here, a combination of coconut milk and half-and-half is used to balance the broth.

Yield Serves 4 as a main dish and 8 as a first course

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 tablespoons curry powder
3 cups chicken broth
two 14-ounce cans unsweetened coconut milk*
1 cup water
2 stalks of lemongrass*, the outer leaves discarded, ends trimmed, and 5 inches of the lower stalks minced
ten 1/8-inch-thick slices of peeled fresh gingerroot
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 whole chicken breast with skin and bones (about 1 pound)
1/2 pound dried rice-stick noodles* (rice vermicelli)
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
6 tablespoons Asian fish sauce such as nuoc mam*
1/3 cup chopped fresh coriander
Asian chili oil* to taste if desired

LEMONGRASS CHICKEN SOUP



Lemongrass Chicken Soup image

In Chinese cultures, lemongrass and cilantro are considered yin ingredients -- cooling elements that are ideal on hot days. The subtle heat of ginger and chile, combined with the bright aroma of fresh mint, enlivens this lightened rendition of chicken soup.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds skinless chicken legs
4 lemongrass stalks, white and pale-yellow parts only, smashed and chopped
4 scallions, halved crosswise
1 onion, halved lengthwise
2 ounces ginger (1-inch piece), 1/2 thinly sliced and 1/2 julienned
1 fresh Thai or serrano chile, seeded
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
10 cups water
5 stems fresh cilantro, plus 1/3 cup leaves
3 stems fresh mint, plus 1/4 cup thinly sliced leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 cup mung bean sprouts

Steps:

  • Place chicken, lemongrass, scallions, onion, sliced ginger, chile, peppercorns, and water in a large pot. Cover, and bring to a simmer. Uncover partially, and gently simmer for 1 hour.
  • Add cilantro and mint stems, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add fish sauce, and strain through a cheesecloth-lined sieve. Reserve broth and chicken. Discard remaining solids. Shred chicken meat, and discard bones. Refrigerate broth and chicken separately for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
  • Skim fat from broth, and reheat broth. Combine chicken, julienned ginger, cilantro leaves, thinly sliced mint, and bean sprouts in a bowl. Divide broth among bowls, and serve with chicken mixture on the side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients, especially lemongrass, ginger, and herbs, will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh lemongrass, you can use dried lemongrass, but be sure to soak it in hot water for 30 minutes before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the chicken and vegetables to the pot, make sure not to overcrowd it. This will prevent the soup from boiling evenly and could make the chicken tough.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the soup for at least 30 minutes will allow the flavors to develop and deepen. The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Taste the soup before serving: Before serving the soup, be sure to taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more curry powder, salt, or pepper to taste.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as cilantro, mint, or basil, before serving. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the soup.

Conclusion:

This Curried Lemongrass Chicken Noodle Soup is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful soup, give this recipe a try!
