THAI COCONUT CHICKEN SOUP



Thai Coconut Chicken Soup image

I just adore chicken soup! This aromatic chicken soup has distinctive Thai flavors. Coconut milk is used to create a mild, rich, and creamy taste. Adding a little lime juice, lemon grass, cilantro, ginger, and red pepper flakes make this divine soup a perfect blend of spicy, sweet and sour. I've made it skinny by using such things as reduced-fat coconut milk, reduced-sodium chicken broth and adding nutritious spinach. It now contains 362 calories and 13 grams of fat per serving compared to a regular recipe at 798 calories and 42 grams of fat. Get ready to love this soup!

SLOW COOKER THAI CHICKEN -- WEIGHT WATCHERS RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Slow Cooker Thai Chicken -- Weight Watchers Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by cosmos2015

Number Of Ingredients 13

13 1/2 ounces light coconut milk
7 teaspoons Thai curry paste, red variety, divided (or to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoons table salt (or to taste)
1/2 head (large) uncooked cauliflower, cut into small florets
1 pound uncooked potatoes, peeled, cut into small chunks
1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into chunks
2 medium uncooked carrots, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 1/2 pounds uncooked chicken breasts, boneless skinless (6, 4 ounce pieces)
2 tablespoons reduced-fat peanut butter
1/3 cup cilantro, fresh, chopped
3 medium uncooked scallions, sliced
1 medium fresh lime, cut into 6 wedges
2 tablespoons peanuts, salted, chopped

Steps:

  • In a 4x6 quart slow cooker, whisk together coconut milk, 4 teaspoons curry paste and salt until blended. Add cauliflower, potatoes, pepper and carrots; toss to mix and coat. Rub 2 teaspoons curry paste all over chicken; place chicken on top of vegetable mixture. Cover slow cooker and cook on LOW setting until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 5 to 6 hours. Remove chicken to a cutting board and cut into bite-size pieces (or shred using two forks); set aside. Stir peanut butter and remaining 1 teaspoon curry paste into slow cooker until blended. Add chicken back to slow cooker with cilantro and scallions; gently stir to coat. Spoon onto plates or into bowls and serve with lime wedges; sprinkle each serving with 1 teaspoon peanuts. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving. Notes: Make sure to cut the cauliflower, carrots and potatoes into similar-size small pieces so they cook through in a similar amount of time. Season to taste with salt and fresh lime juice before serving, if desired. For a spicier kick, serve with sriracha sauce on the side.
