Meatball Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground Chicken
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 cloves Garlic crushed
  • ¾ cup Panko Crumbs
  • ¾ cup Parmesan grated
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh Cilantro minced
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger Root grated
  • 2 large Green Onion finely sliced

Coconut Soup Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon Coconut Oil
  • 1 large Shallot small dice
  • 10 oz Cremini Mushrooms halved and sliced
  • ½ large Bell Pepper small dice
  • 3 tablespoon Thai Red Curry Paste
  • 400 ml Coconut Milk
  • 900 ml Chicken Broth
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1½ cup Baby Spinach
  • 2 tablespoon Lime Juice from one lime
  • 200 grams Thick Rice Noodles

Instructions
 

Prepare the Meatballs

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine all of the ingredients for the meatballs in a large bowl and and mix until smooth. Shape 20-24 meatballs, around 1-inch in diameter.
  • Place the meatballs on the prepared sheet pan and bake in the preheated 350F oven for 16-18 minutes or until an internal temperature of 165F has been reached.

Prepare the Soup

  • In a large pot on medium -high heat, melt the coconut oil.
  • Add the chopped shallot, mushroom and bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the Thai Red Curry Paste and continue cooking for 1 minute.
  • Deglaze the soup pot by pouring in the coconut milk and the chicken broth. Bring the soup to a simmer and then turn off the heat.
  • Add the lime juice and the baby spinach to the soup and stir until the spinach has fully wilted.

Assemble the Soup

  • Cook the rice noodles separately (as per directed on the package) so that they do not absorb the broth from the soup.
  • Place some of the cooked rice noodles in the bowls. Pour some of the soup over the noodles and then top with some of the cooked meatballs.
  • Garnish with more cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
