Winter = soups, warmth, comfort. Call it whatever you like.
The truth is I can’t ever let winter pass without adding some soups to our weekly menu. In fact, plenty of them. This recipe is different from the usual soups; but chicken, celery and coconut milk definitely make a winning combination.
The first and most important rule to remember is of course using moist cooked chicken. Whatever method you choose to cookyour chicken, bake, grill, or pan fry, make sure it stays moist and tender.
The second rule is not adding too much salt. As you can see we are adding stock cubes in this recipe which are usually laden with salt. So the best thing to do is check the seasoning towards the end of cooking process.
The result? Damn delicious soup for those chilly nights.
