Thick Chicken Soup in Asian Style

Ingredients

Courgette - 2 lbs
Chicken Thighs - 2 lbs
Sweet Red Onion - 2 pieces
Ginger - 0.4 oz
Garlic - 6 cloves
Tomatoes - 3 pieces
Coconut Milk - 7 fl oz
Orzo Pasta - 1.8 oz
Lemongrass - 1 stalk
Vegetable Oil - 3 tablespoons
Salt - to taste
Ground Black Pepper - to taste
Parsley - 1 bunch

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onion, sliced into half rings. Sauté for a few minutes, then add the peeled ginger and garlic.

Step 2

Remove the bones from the chicken thighs and cut the meat into large cubes. Sauté until golden brown.

Step 3

Add the zucchini, cut into cubes the same size as the meat. Season with salt and pepper, add the lemongrass. Simmer for about 5 minutes. During this time, some liquid will be released from the meat.

Step 4

Stir, add the coconut milk, bring to a boil, thicken with orzo pasta (or noodles) and simmer for the time indicated on the package.

Step 5

5 minutes before cooking is complete, add finely chopped sour tomatoes, and a couple of minutes before serving, add the chopped aromatic herbs. Parsley is the most neutral option. However, any herbs to your taste will work equally well.
