Thai chicken coconut soup
A nourishing Thai-style chicken coconut soup loaded with vegetables, ginger, and lime, a one-pot dinner that freezes well for the week ahead.
A must in the colder months. Good fats, lean protein, and a pile of vegetables, easy to make, freezes by the portion, and my clients call it a family favourite. Add rice noodles to the bowl for a heartier version.
