Chicken Thai Curry Soup

This soup is SO tasty and SO easy, especially if you already have the COLLEGE INN Thai Coconut Curry Broth on hand.  If not, here is what I would sub it with…

*quantity is instead of what is listed in recipe below

• 1 box chicken broth
• 1 can light coconut milk*
• 1tsp curry powder*
• 2-3 Tbs fresh lime juice*
• 3 tsp fresh ginger, grated *

The fresh ginger makes this dish, so be sure to pick it up in the store in the produce section, it is very inexpensive.  It kind of looks brown and nobby like a root.  I get a nice size piece and freeze whatever I don’t use for later.  Use a potato peeler to get the skin off, skin the whole thing BEFORE you freeze any leftovers.  I just use a microplane to grate it for the soup.  It grates best when it is frozen.

If you have the Thai broth, I would recommend omitting the coconut milk, it tastes great without it. I can’t imagine it tasting any better with it!
