Thai Coconut Soup. Whenever I feel a chill coming on, I make my 'sure fire cure-all'. Its my 'comfort food'.
You can make a vegetarian version, but I make mine with: (for a large batch that will last one person a good long while)
1-1&1/2 lbs. Skinless Chicken- sliced into small bite sized pieces
4-12oz cans Coconut milk
1 Qt. Chicken broth
4/5- 12oz cans Straw mushrooms
Lemongrass
Lime juice
Chili powder
Ginger
Crushed red pepper
Coriander
Garlic
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Lemon oil
Italian Parsley
I swear. Its better than Chicken noodle soup, and with the right amount of Thai spices, it will clear you up, and warn the cockles of your heart, and everything in-between.
