Tonight I had Thai Curry Chicken soup (well mine was sans chicken.) It was a beautiful mixture of flavors.. I thought I d share a lite and healthy recipe :) Makes 6 servings This version of Thai Curry Soup uses reduced fat coconut milk to reduce saturated fat content. Recipe Ingredients for Lite Thai Curry Soup 2 oz rice noodles 1 tbsp olive oil 1 clove garlic 1 1/2 tbsp lemon grass 1 tsp ginger 2 tsp red curry paste 48 oz chicken broth 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp sugar 13 1/2 oz lite coconut milk 1/2 lb shrimp 1 cup mushrooms 10 oz baby spinach 2 tbsp lime juice 1/4 cup cilantro 2 green onions Recipe Directions for Lite Thai Curry Soup Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add rice noodles and cook until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse well with cold water to stop the cooking; set aside. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic, lemon grass, and ginger; cook and stir until aromatic, 30 to 60 seconds. Add the curry paste, and cook 30 seconds more. Pour in about 1/2 cup of the chicken broth, and stir until the curry paste has dissolved, then pour in the remaining chicken stock along with the soy sauce and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover, and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in coconut milk, shrimp, mushrooms, spinach, lime juice, and cilantro. Increase heat to medium-high, and simmer until the shrimp turn pink and are no longer translucent, about 5 minutes. To serve, place some rice noodles into each serving bowl and ladle soup on top of them. Garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of sliced green onion.
