Thai Coconut Chicken Soup

Beautiful, exotic, colorful and most of all complex. This how I would describe both Thailand and it's cuisine. Finding a Thai recipe for a simple living blog was a little bit of a challenge.

Yet, chicken soup is chicken soup! This Thai Coconut Chicken Soup is based on Tom Kha Gai, a traditional Thai chicken soup.

I just modified the recipe a little. I wanted the soup to be a complete meal, and to me there needs to be a vegetable, preferably a green vegetable in a dish to make it a meal, so I added Lacinato kale. I like this kale more than curly kale because it softens a little and tastes more like spinach. You can use any dark green you like.

To speed up making this recipe I used lemongrass and cilantro paste along with bottled lime juice. You can also substitute Sriracha sauce for chili sauce, since people these days seem to have it on hand. Enjoy this warming flavorful soup over rice or rice noodles.
