As soon as the temperature starts to cool all I want is soup, this coconut lime chicken soup really hit the spot! It is so fresh and flavorful, and not a really heavy or thick soup, making it perfect for the autumn months. I love that it is different from most soups and I am crazy about the combination of coconut and lime. The chicken in the soup is really easy and tasty, you just need to get a roasted chicken from the deli at your grocery store and shred it up into bite size pieces. And be sure to double check that you have all the yummy spices, they really give this soup a delicious taste. The only thing we wished after making this soup was that we had made some naan bread to go with it.
