Thai Chicken and Shrimp Soup with Coconut Milk
A spicy and rich Thai soup that warms you up with its spiciness. There are probably authentic versions of these soups available, but this recipe is a pure inspiration, a mix of ingredients I like.
Preparation time: About 45 minutes
Level: Easy
Quantity: About 2.5 L of soup
Ingredients:
500 g peeled tiger prawns
400 g chicken fillet, cut into thin pieces
About a 5 cm piece of fresh ginger, grated
150 g basmati rice
3-4 tbsp cooking oil for browning the chicken
2 bell peppers, cut into thin strips
1 large onion, cut into strips
5-6 cloves of garlic, chopped
400 ml coconut milk
1.5 tbsp green Thai curry paste
1 celery stalk, chopped
Black pepper and sea salt to taste
Green onions for garnish
A handful of chopped cashew nuts for garnish
Preparation:
- Brown the chicken, sliced onions, chopped celery, chopped garlic, and bell pepper strips in a heavy-bottomed pot for about 5 minutes.
- Add about 1L of water, grated ginger, Thai curry paste, and basmati rice—season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Cook for about 5-6 minutes. Add coconut milk, stir, and cook for another 5 minutes. Add shrimp and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Roast the cashews in a dry pan for 5 minutes, roughly chop them with a knife or food processor, and use them to sprinkle over the soup.
- Finely chop the green onion and use it as a garnish. Leave some of the green onion tops to decorate the soup.
