Red Thai Chicken, Coconut & Kaffir Lime Soup
If you like spicy food, this soup is for you!
This dish really hit the spot and was so nice on a cold, Melbourne day! The delicious flavours make me really miss Thailand and I so can’t wait to go back one day. Matt hasn’t been before so it would be fun to show Matt Bangkok and some of the beautiful islands. I really love Koh Samui.
Serves 4.
Please note this recipe is pretty much at the 2.2 litre Thermomix bowl capacity so just be careful you don’t go over with measurements. If it’s too full, you can do a bit less of the water.
