Fast and easy: Thai Chicken and Coco Soup

It appears I'm in a soup period at the moment, so I hope you're ready for one more? This one is a lot healthier than the peanut soup and super fast and easy to make too. Oh, and quite delicious by the way. After a weekend of celebrating my friend's birthday with alcohol and a lot of food (and a hangover pizza yesterday, don't judge!), this light soup was just what I needed today. I was inspired by this lovely recipe but felt like experimenting a bit and making my own version. The measurements are only instructive and not 100 % precise, but don't be afraid to try and taste your way on this one like I did.

 

Thai Chicken and Coco Soup (serves 4 people):

 

500 g cooked chicken breast, thinly sliced (I boiled mine for 10 minutes)

4 dl. low fat chicken stock

3 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon chili sauce

4 teaspoons coconut oil

3 dl. mushrooms

2 cans of bamboo shoots

1 green onion, finely chopped

Juice of 1 lime

1 dl. shredded coconut

Ginger, grated

Curry

Chili  

Olive oil

4 tablespoons skyr (i.e. low fat creme fraiche)

 

Heat up some olive oil in a pot and add a hint of chili and curry. Then fry onion and mushrooms for a couple of minutes and add a bit of grated ginger. Add chicken stock, coconut oil, oyster sauce, chili sauce, lime juice, Skyr/creme fraiche, and bamboo shoots (but be careful with the chili sauce, and add a little at a time to taste). Let the soup simmer for 5 minutes, then add the pre-cooked chicken, and voilá! Dinner is served. I sprinkled some shredded coconut on top (and peanuts on the bf's portion), and served the soup with brown rice. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did.

 

Dansk: Jeg har lavet thai-inspireret kylling- og kokossuppe til aften, og den kan varmt anbefales. Ikke alene er den supersund og superlækker; den tager tilmed kun omkring 15 minutters tid at lave. Perfekt, ikke? Jeg fandt inspiration i denne opskrift men lavede min egen (lidt sundere) version og erstattede kokosmælken med skyr og en smule kokosolie. Derudover tilsatte jeg revet ingefær, lidt limesaft, et skvæt fiskesauce, lidt chilisauce, champignoner og bambusskud. Jeg håber, I vil nyde den så meget, som vi gjorde herhjemme.
