Annabel Karmel's Thai chicken soup is a great way to introduce kids to fantastic flavours from around the world.
It can be daunting introducing spicy flavours to young diners, but they're more popular than you might think - a lot of kids like a little spiciness. If you're serving older children and you know their palette, feel free to add a little more chilli, or have a bowl of slices chilli on the side that people can help themselves from with a spoon (not with fingers!). This dish is great for adventurous young kids but also something you can serve to the whole family. This recipe serves 4 and it's so quick to make - just 10 minutes to prep and another 10 to cook.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp light olive oil
- 150g chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, crushed (bash the garlic first to make it easier to peel)
- Half red chilli, finely chopped (approx 1 tbsp)
- 1 chicken breast, cut into thin strips
- 100g broccoli
- 600ml chicken stock
- 300ml coconut milk
- Salt and pepper
- 150g cooked rice (40g uncooked weight)
WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion, garlic and chilli for 2 mins. Add the strips of chicken and sauté for 2 more mins.
- Cut the broccoli into small florets. Add the broccoli and chicken stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 3-4 mins. Stir in the coconut milk and simmer for 2 mins.
- Season to taste stir in the cooked rice and heat through.
