(So many people wanted this recipe after tasting it we said we'd put it in the RCT online)
Serves 8
Make sure not to use
cream of coconut which is heavily sweetened and inappropriate for savory dishes
in general. Fish sauce is preferred in
this recipe although soy sauce can be substituted.
1
tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons
grated fresh ginger
3-6
teaspoons Thai red curry paste
6 cups
low sodium chicken broth
3
tablespoons fish sauce or soy sauce
1
tablespoon light brown sugar
2 (14
ounce) cans coconut milk
1 pound
boneless, skinless chicken breasts trimmed and sliced thin into 1 inch strips
¼ pound white mushrooms, trimmed and sliced thin
¼ cup

¼ cup

3

1. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium
heat until shimmering. Stir in the
ginger and curry paste and cook for 1 minute.
Add ½ cup of the broth and stir until curry paste dissolves. Stir in the remaining broth , the fish sauce
and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and
cook, partially covered, for 15 minutes.
2.
Stir in the coconut milk, chicken, mushrooms and
other vegetables. Simmer until the
chicken is cooked, about 5 minutes. Stir
in the lime juice and season with salt.
Sprinkle the bowls of soup with cilantro leaves before serving. Put rice in bowl and cover with soup to taste.
This soup can be cooled, covered, and refrigerated for up to
2 days. It cannot be frozen, due to the
coconut milk. Reheat over low heat,
taking care not to let it boil.
