I feel like a broken record around these parts -- but just when I think Spring has finally decided to stay for good, the temperatures drop drastically and we get another coating of snow. This week I decided that if the heat wasn't coming from the weather outside, I could at the very least bring in a little heat in the kitchen. This chicken coconut curry soup is warm with spice, comforting, and the perfect antidote to a grey and gloomy day.
If you'd like a little bit more (or less) spice, play around with the amount of curry paste you use. If you really want to tantalize your taste buds, consider adding in some additional red pepper flakes to really turn up the heat.
