Curried Coconut Chicken Soup
- 1 skinless chicken breast, cut into chunks
- 1 tablespoon curry paste (I had green curry paste on hand when I made this, but you could use any)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated (fresh is best, can also use dried)
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 (13 1/2 ounce) can light coconut milk
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts (optional)
- 2 green onions, chopped (I only use green part in this)
- 12 cup sliced mushrooms
- Spray pan with cooking spray and add chicken.
- Once chicken begins to cook & turn white, add curry paste and stir to thinly coat chicken.

- As chicken cooks, in separate sauce pan, begin to heat chicken broth.
- Bring to simmer.
