Ginger Coconut Tomato Soup Recipes

CREAMY COCONUT TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the coconut oil and swirl it around to melt and coat the base of the pot. Add the onion, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomato paste and stir to coat the vegetables. Add the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, coconut milk and another 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn the heat down to low, cover and let simmer for 20 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and remove the lid. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it's smooth. (This could alternatively be done in a blender.)
• Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.

ONE-POT BRAISED CHICKEN WITH COCONUT MILK, TOMATO AND GINGER

Steps:

• Pat chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper. In a deep 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook, undisturbed, until nicely browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and brown the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Turn heat to medium-low, add the onion and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, cinnamon and red-pepper flakes, and cook until the garlic and the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt.
• Add the tomatoes with their juices and the coconut milk, and stir until combined, scraping up any brown bits that have formed at the bottom of the pan. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet along with any juices that have accumulated. Simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide the rice, if using, among bowls and plate the chicken on top, spooning additional sauce over it. Scatter with cilantro and a squeeze of lime, if you like.
