Dinner #1: Thai Chicken Soup

Thursday, February 26, 2009: It may seem a little anti-climactic to start off in the middle of the week and with leftovers as my first post to this blog. However, I think it's appropriate. I imagine that leftovers will comprise many of the posts I'll write over the course of the year so why not start off that way.

The picture below is of a Thai Chicken Soup I made a few days ago. I've actually had it for dinner about 2 times already. The recipe comes from an Australian food magazine named, Delicious. I cook a lot out of this magazine as I find the Asian flavors to be a bit more authentic than what I see in American magazines. My guess is that it's proximity (they are part of Asia Pac).



I love this soup. Spicy, creamy, and a nice tang from the lime. Yum!

The recipe calls for Kaffir lime leaves but I couldn't find any so I just omitted them - not the first time this has happened. As a result I ordered some from ImportFood. Apparently you can freeze them & they'll keep for a while

Next time I make it I'll be interested to see what the difference in taste is.
