I loved the curry so much the other night that I decided to do a soup version of it & oh man its devine.
1.5 syns per big bowl full as shown in the photo & the recipe serves 2.
Ingredients:
1 Chicken breast cut into strips
700ml Chicken stock, I used Oxo
A handful of frozen mixed vegetables
A handful of frozen mixed peppers
A few grains of rice
1 Level tbsp of Thai green paste (1 syns)
50ml of coconut light milk (2 syns)
Salt & pepper
Soy sauce
A sprinkle of chilli flakes or a fresh red chill if you prefer
Method:
Add the chicken & chicken stock to a medium sized pan & cook on a medium heat for around 5 minutes.
Then add the mixed vegetables, peppers, rice, Thai green paste, chilli flakes, salt & pepper & a good splash of soy sauce. Cook for around 15-20 minutes until everything is soft. Mix in the 50ml of coconut light milk & stir really well. If your stock has dried out a little add abit extra water if needed. Stir well & serve after a few minutes.
