Day Four
Curried Chicken Soup

• 1-4 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1/2 inch ginger, cut into thick slices
• 2-3 stalks of lemon grass
• Curry powder (you can go very spicy with this if you like)
• Coconut milk
• Boneless/skinless chicken, cut into small cubes

Don’t add the following until directly before serving:

• Spinach leaves
• Spring onions, sliced
• Coriander leaves, chopped
• Lime juice

Mix the garlic, ginger, lemon grass and curry powder into the broth and bring to a boil. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes and then strain out the solids. Bring to a boil again and add chicken, simmer until the chicken is cooked through. Mix in coconut milk to taste. You can chill or freeze it at this point. Before serving, bring to a boil and then add the greens and a touch of lime juice, serve immediately.
