GREEN CURRY COCONUT LIME SOUP

Green Curry Coconut Lime Soup image

Creamy soup with mild spice and a zip of citrus. It is inspired by Tom Kha Gai from Laotian and Thai cuisines, but it comes together quickly from ingredients that are easily and routinely available--real Tom Kha needs fresh lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal root, which are not always available in my locale.
