Coconut Chicken Soup image

It is a northern Thai soup called Tom Khai Gai. Much of the flavor comes from the garnish that is added after it is cooked: the fresh lime, chiles, coriander leaves, and the roasted chili curry paste. This soup will have a bite to it no matter what you do, but you can modify the spiciness by changing the peppers and the amount of chili paste that you use.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a lot of leftover chicken after a roast chicken dinner, and this soup is a great way to use it up.
