My friend Steve gave me this recipe for Spicy Thai Coconut Chicken Soup. It's quick to make, low in calories, and packed with flavor. Coconut milk tames the heat from the chile paste. You can adjust the heat to suit your taste.

  • Prep: 10 mins
  • Cook: 10 mins
  • Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

2 teaspoons canola oil


1 cup mushrooms, sliced

½ cup red bell pepper, chopped


4 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced


4 garlic cloves, minced


1 (3-inch) stalk lemongrass, halved lengthwise


2 teaspoons sambal oelek (ground fresh chile paste)


3 cups lower-sodium chicken broth


1¼ cups light coconut milk


4 teaspoons fish sauce

1 tablespoon sugar


2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded


½ cup green onion, sliced

3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
