Ok, this initial recipe is for a small batch, just to get you tasting. You can then adjust it any way you like. Every ingredient is to taste, of course.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs cooked chicken, cut up or shredded. You can grill or boil.
- 3 c. cooked rice (any kind, just make sure it's cooked just under what you want prior to making the soup).
- 1-15 oz (or the closest size) can unsweetened coconut milk (I did not really like the generic for this).
- 2 c. water
- 1/4 c. sugar
- 2-3 Tbsp teriyaki sauce
- 1/3 c. lime juice
- 1 Tbsp curry
- 1-1 1/2 tsp ground mustard
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 2-3 tsp salt, preferable sea salt or fresh ground himalaya salt
- 2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 c. shredded coconut (sweetened)
- 1/2 can chunk or tidbit pineapple (or 1/4 fresh pinapple, cut up)
I usually make the soup in the rice pot right before the rice is done, so make sure to use a larger pot. Simply add all the ingredients together, except for the pineapple, and simmer until the flavors have brought themselves out. While the soup is melding, pan grill the pineapple. As soon as the pineapple is done, turn off all your burners and stir in the pineapple.
Feel free to add more curry, or lime juice, or sugar, or any ingredient until the flavor just moves you. My hubby David likes to add more sugar. I like to add more lime. It's really great soup for experimenting. We typically make a quadruple batch and eat it throughout the week. The leftovers taste great!
You can grill any kind of pineapple, I tend to add a bit of butter...it really helps. I just pan grill on high, tossing every few seconds, until it becomes:
Deliciousness!
Getting it all stirred together.
Voila!
The end product is soooo yummy, be sure not to burn your mouth!
