Thai Coconut Chicken Soup
Thai Coconut Chicken Soup
2-3 Tbsp Olive oil
2 Tbsp good butter
4-5 scallions chopped including most of the green part
3 medium zucchini chopped small bite sized pieces (add more if you like a chunkier soup)
½ tsp Cayenne Pepper
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb thin sliced chicken breast, cut into bite sized chunks
1 can coconut milk full fat 13-15oz
4-5 cups chicken broth (I use better than boullion)
¼ tsp ground thyme
½ lb fresh baby spinach (use more if you like a chunkier soup)
Salt and pepper to taste
Gently heat oil and butter over medium heat. Stir in scallions and cook until softened 1-4 minutes. Add zucchini, garlic and cayenne pepper. Stir until zucchini is turning translucent and weeping. Add in chicken and stir until cooked through...about 5-8 minutes. Add in canned coconut milk and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and add in thyme and spinach. Turn down heat to a simmer. Stir until spinach is fully wilted. Taste broth for need of salt and pepper (you might not need to add depending on your pallet). Simmer for 15-20 minutes. Serve and enjoy.
