I looked for a new Thai soup recipe, something different than our standard one, but I could not really find what I wanted. So when all else fails...create something yourself. I took some ingredient ideas for a bunch of standard Thai dishes and put it all together.
Its sort of like chicken satay with peanut sauce meets soup... Yumminess!!!!!
2 Tbsp oil
1 onion, diced
2Tbsp garlic, minced
1 red pepper, diced
Heat oil and saute onion, garlic and red pepper for about 1 minute or until onion is clear and tender.
1 carrot, chopped small
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp cayenne
Add carrot and spices to onion mixture and saute for 1 minute
1 large can diced tomatoes (540ml)
1 can coconut milk (I used light)
1 cup peanut butter
3 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 Tbsp lime juice
salt to taste
Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to low heat, cover and cook until carrots are tender and flavors blend together (about 20 mins)
2 chicken breasts - diced
1 tbsp Thai chili paste
1 tbsp olive oil.
While the soup is simmering, heat the oil and then add the Thai red chili paste and saute for 15 sec. Add the chopped chicken and cook until no longer pink. Once cooked, you can add to the simmering soup.
Add half a bunch of chopped to the finished soup just before serving.
***for a thinner soup add a second can of coconut milk***
