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 chicken breast, cut into thin strips
- 100g broccoli
- 600ml chicken stock
- 300ml coconut milk
