Spicy Coconut Soup With Chicken, Rice & Vegetables

.
.
Yesterday  evening I was going to make an authentic Thai or Indian dish,
but then I realized that I did not have some of the ingredients I needed in
my cupboard, so I came up with this beauty.  While it is not authentic Thai
nor Indian, Malay, Indonesian, etc, etc, I can proudly inform you that is
100% authentic  ” Hans “.
I could not have eaten better last night, so it goes to show once more that
love for food and cooking, a bit of imagination and a little bit of skill’s can
many times replace the biggest, best, most expensive recipe book    🙂

  1. Really will try your recipe. My Mom, who was from Belize, CA used to make a soup stew with all those ingredients except for the brocolli rabe and added green plantains, yucca & malanga, you need to try that. There used to be a little restaurant in Hollywood, Fl where they served a soup with fish & shrimp with most of those ingredients as in yours-I’m always making dishes using substitute ingredients and sometimes luckily they’re keepers. Always find your ideas, wonderful
