Low-carb chicken coconut curry soup
Hi everyone, I don't know why I've never posted here before-I'm always trying recipes and tweaking them to make them lower carb, so I'll be sharing my results more in the future. Here's a very delicious soup I've been making a lot lately:
Chicken coconut curry soup
Saute 1 minced onion with 1 or 2 chopped carrots and a couple handfuls of chopped tomato in a little oil (I used coconut oil)
Add: 1 Tbl curry powder, 1 tsp chili paste (to taste), 1 Tbl peanut butter, 1 tsp minced garlic, and 1 Tbl grated fresh ginger and saute for 1 minute
Add: 2 cups of any vegetable-I used 2 chopped zucchini. I think a bit of sweet potato would be good in it, or any type of squash, or green beans, etc.
Add: enough chicken stock just to cover the vegetables-not too much. Coo****il soft.
Add: As much chopped-up meat as you like from a store-bought roast chicken. I used a whole chicken. Bring to a boil, then turn down to low.
Add 1 can coconut milk. Bring to a near, but not quite, boil. Turn off soup. Add lemon or lime juice to taste, and a handful of chopped cilantro.
(option-I also make this sometimes starting out with a whole chicken, which I simmer for 1 1/2 hours until done, then strain the stock, etc. The store-bought roasted chicken is when you don't want to deal with that)
