Thai Coconut Soup

After having a baby I am always on the lookout for quick recipes that don't require much chopping. This one is a winner! I combined a few different recipes to make it work with the ingredients I had on hand. This came together super fast and Michael and I were pleased. I'll be keeping the ingredients on hand to put this together in a pinch!

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 onion cut in thin half moons
1/2 teaspoon jalapeno, minced
1 1/2 tablespoon freshly minced ginger
1/8 teaspoon cumin
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 packages ramen noodles broken up (don't use seasoning)
1 cup cooked shredded chicken
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons cilantro

Heat oil in a medium soup pan then add onions and cook until soft. Add jalapeno, ginger and cumin and cook until fragrant.

Add chicken broth, coconut milk, and salt. Bring to a boil.

Add noodles and chicken and turn down to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes or until noodles are soft.

Add lime juice and cilantro and add salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy!

You could sub a package of ramen noodles with chopped bok choy, red pepper or shredded carrots. Just put those in with the broth and let them cook until soft.
