Chicken Coconut Curry Soup

by alice on January 6, 2010 · 23 comments

Ten years ago, my friend Ann made this soup for our family when we moved into our house.  This has become one of my favorite soups and I like to prepare when I’m in a jam and need dinner quickly!  It is quite easy, tasty, and perfect for a cold winters night.  The blend of coconut milk and red curry paste is the perfect combination for a Thai style soup without any fuss.  I will warn you though, it does have a nice kick to it.  It will warm your bellies and leave you feeling satisfied.  If you don’t like spicy food, just reduce the amount of curry paste to your liking.

I love my friend and fellow food blogger, Jennifer Perrillo. In September we were roommates for BlogherFood09 in San Francisco.  During our time together she was so kind to give me all sorts of wonderful things to bring back to Seattle.  This included a copy of Japanese Hot Pots: Comforting One-Pot Meals by Tadashi Ono and Harris Salat. I was so thrilled because I had been looking through it in our hotel room asking questions about it.  During my flight home I scanned through each recipe.  With every turn of the page my appetite for hot pot grew.  Browsing through the book one can’t help but notice the stunning food photography -the photos are beyond beautiful. The first recipe I tried was Kinoko Nabe a.k.a. Mushroom Hot Pot.  And fyi, I’ve made this 4 times since reading the book! [click to continue…]

One of my husband’s favorite Chinese condiments is plum sauce. He dips EVERYTHING in it and who could blame him? The combination of sweet and sour with a touch of heat makes the perfect companion to springs rolls, pot stickers, fried chicken, and duck dishes. This sauce is incredibly easy to make and will have you wondering why you never made it before! [click to continue…]
