Thai Chicken Coconut Soup. This soup is by far one of my favorite soups. It’s perfect for the winter months to warm you up with its savory coconut broth. I’ve had a lot of soups but this one has such a great balance of flavors that just thinking about it makes my mouth water while I type this up to share with you.
My older sister developed this recipe and then my wife added here own personal touch to it to make it out of this world. Easy enough for anyone to make and you can replace the chicken/stock with fish, shrimp or make it totally vegan with just vegetables and vegetable stock. You can also make it as mild or as spicy as you wish. I personally load mine up with dried crushed chili pepper and Adoboloco Habanero Sauce.
Ingredients:
- 2 TBSP Tom Yum Soup Base
- 1 Medium Onion – Sliced
- 6-8 Boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into bite size chunks
- 3 TBSP Tamarind Paste
- 3-4 Cans Coconut Milk

- 3 – 4 Kafir Lime Leaves – Chopped really small
- 8oz Box of Mushrooms – Quartered
- 5oz Box Grape Tomatoes – Sliced and seasoned with a little sea salt
- 1 Bunch of Fresh Cilantro – Chopped
- Fish Sauce / Patis – Get a bottle and keep in in your pantry

Instructions:
In peanut or coconut oil saute onion in Tom Yum Soup base until onions start to get soft, add chicken, season with a small amount of fish sauce.
