Coconut Lime Turkey Or Chicken And Rice Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Set a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add broth, coconut milk, rice, ginger, lemongrass, chiles (if using), and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer until rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, pick out the ginger, lemongrass pieces, and birds-eye chiles and discard.
• Stir in lime zest and lime juice. Taste and add additional salt if desired.
• Ladle into bowls and top with a generous amount of tofu or chicken. Add garnishes - I like lots of fresh cilantro, sliced peppers, and an extra lime wedge for squeezing. Serve.
• Leftovers keep refrigerated in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Note the soup does thicken up over time because the rice continues to absorb the liquid. But it still tastes delicious!

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the rice, water, coconut milk, sugar and salt to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender., Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the lime juice, soy sauce, lime zest, ginger, vinegar and honey; set aside. In a large skillet, saute chicken in canola and sesame oils until no longer pink. Add lime mixture to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with coconut and cilantro. Fluff rice with a fork and serve with chicken mixture.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except noodles in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; when cool enough to handle, shred meat from bones and discard bones. Add meat to soup.
• Cook noodles according to package directions, then add to soup. Add more fish sauce, if desired, and serve with lime halves for squeezing.

Steps:

• Place the first 9 ingredients in a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker; stir in chicken. Cook, covered, on low 4-5 hours or until chicken is tender., Skim fat; stir in cooked rice. Cook, covered, on low 15-30 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle servings with cilantro.

Steps:

• Slice 5 to 6 thin slices of ginger root. Peel 2 medium garlic cloves and slice in half.
• Put chicken stock into a heavy soup pot and start to simmer, then add ginger root slices, garlic cloves, lime juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar or splenda. Let simmer on low for 20 minutes or until flavors are well blended.
• While the soup base simmers, shred apart the leftover turkey or chicken into bit-sized pieces until you have 2 cups. After 20 minutes remove the garlic and ginger pieces and add diced chicken, light coconut milk, and green tabasco sauce or other hot sauce to the soup and let it continue to simmer on low about 6 minutes more. Be sure the heat is low enough the soup won't boil after the coconut milk has been added.
• After 6 minutes add the cooked brown rice and let it simmer for a couple minutes while you wash and chop the cilantro. Add cilantro and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve hot with sliced limes to squeeze into the soup if desired.
