Thai-Style Chicken Soup

"This is a wonderful quick and easy soup that has some wonderful flavours and smells delicious while cooking. It makes for a wonderful lunch or serve as a dinner with some bread or you could add noodles to make it more substantial. It sounds like a lot of ingredients but they all come together with ease and in all it only takes about 30-35 Min's to get on the table."

  1. What a fabulous soup. Very easy to make & reasonably fast, with a great flavour. I added rice noodles for a little extra filling, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe. Made for Aus/NZ Recipe Swap Feb 2009
     
  2. I agree - this is a wonderful soup!! So easy with an aroma that makes it extra special - nothing like anticipating! Other then using fresh parsley in place of the coriander I made as posted. Already in the make again file! Thank you for a recipe that was so easy to put together yet tasted like I had spent all day in the kitchen.
     
  3. Perfect after a cold afternoon's fishing as it was so quick to put together. I used my own home made stock and had to sub lemon zest for lemon grass as we can't get it where we are at the moment. I tossed in some asparagus and broccoli and served it over noodles (as chef TFC suggested) to make a warming and nourishing complete meal.
