COCONUT-LIME CHICKEN CURRY SOUP

Coconut-Lime Chicken Curry Soup image

I created this chicken recipe to replicate the flavors of my favorite curry dish-slightly sweet with just the right amount of spicy heat. When served with a garnish of green onions and toasted coconut, the soup makes the perfect cold-weather meal. -Lisa Renshaw, Kansas City, Missouri
