Curried Coconut Chicken Soup

• 2 -3 kaffir lime leaves
• 1 stem basil
• 1 potato, chopped into bite sized pieces
• 1 (14 ounce) can light coconut milk
• 1 (14 ounce) can chicken stock (equal to the coconut milk)
• 2 -3 tablespoons fish sauce

1. Slice chicken on diagonal thinly and quickly brown in a large pan or pot.
2. (use a tbsp oil if needed).
3. add curry powder, ginger, garlic, lime leaves and cook for a minute or two.
4. add sugar and follow with lime juice.
5. add chicken stock and coconut milk and fish sauce.
6. add chopped potato.
7. cook through until potato is tender- about 5 minutes if potato chopped smallish.
8. add red pepper, bamboo shoots, basil and corn if using.
9. cook a few minutes.serve.
10. I also add salt and pepper, depending on the salt in the stock -- red pepper flakes also add to it if you like heat.
