Week 7: Thai Ginger Soup

I haven't posted anything in a long time, but that isn't because I haven't been cooking.
Here is my recipe for Thai Ginger Soup. SOOO good.

This serves 2 for an app or 1 for an entree

1 can cocanut soup
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp thinly sliced or diced galangal (or ginger)
4 tbsp lemon grass
1/4 cup lime juice
a splash of fish sauce
4-6 hot thai peppers
3-5 Kaffir lime leaves
a small bunch of cilantro
OPTIONAL
chicken cut into small pieces
1 serving of very thin rice noodles
I made mine without chicken and with the noodles

So, first boil the galangal and the lemon grass for a few minutes. At this point add the coconut milk. Once it is hot, add the chicken and all other ingredients except for the lime and cilantro and cook on low until the chicken is cooks. If you want to add the noodles, you need to cook them for about 4 or 5 minutes so add them accordingly. Once you remove the soup from the heat, mix in the lime and the cilantro
Remeber, don't eat the kaffir lime, the lemongrass or the peppers. If you eat the kaffir lime of the lemongrass, you won't die but if you eat the pepper, you might very well cry.
