This satiny soup delivers the flavor spectrum in every creamy spoonful. There's the balance of tangy lemon and lime with sweet coconut, followed by the fiery quality of curry paste and chili pepper. And this dish is completely customizable, so you can make it as spicy as you desire by using more/less of the diced chili pepper.

Coconut chicken soup

Serves: 4
