Green Curry Soup
Tofu, Chicken, and Peas
Basil and Scallion Garnish
- 1 1/2 c. coconut milk
- 1 1/2 c. chicken stock
- 2 T. green curry paste
- 1 c. diced chicken breast
- 1 c. cubed tofu
- 1/2 c. frozen peas
- 1 T. fish sauce
- 1 T. sugar
- 1 sliced green chile (Thai, serrano, or jalapeño)
- 2 kaffir lime leaves, thinly sliced into slivers
- basil and scallion for garnish
Heat coconut milk and chicken stock together. Stir in curry paste. Add chicken and kaffir lime leaves. When chicken is cooked, season with fish sauce and sugar. Taste, adjust seasoning to balance the sweet, spicy, sour, salty flavors. Add chile, tofu and frozen peas and heat through. Serve garnished with a chiffonade of basil and sliced scallion.
A vegetarian version made with vegetable stock, omitting the chicken, and substituting light soy sauce for fish sauce is also very tasty.
This little fellow is my Kaffir Lime Tree, planted last Fall. The wrinkled limes are way too sour to eat but the leaves and zest are perfect to season my Thai dishes. The green curry soup recipe is adapted from a basic recipe we learned in Thailand a few years ago at the fabulous Pattaya Thai Cooking School.
Kaffir Lime leaves are easily distinguished by their double-lobes and very fragrant aroma.
Voilà! A very flavorful and easy to make soup!
