Orzo Coconut Curry Soup

Serves: 4

For a side soup, sometimes I leave the chicken out. With the chicken, you have a hearty main dish soup.

Directions:

1 Cook orzo according to instructions on package, and then set aside.
2 In a large pot over medium-high heat, whisk together the coconut milk and the curry paste until smooth.

Notes
This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken. Thai curry paste: I used green, but yellow or red would work. The 4 tablespoons of curry paste to 2 cans of coconut milk was in line with the directions on the Thai curry paste package. I thought the quantity provided a mild heat, but you may want to adjust more or less depending on your heat tolerance. Frozen vegetables: I used a stir fry variety with broccoli, peppers, carrots, mushrooms, and water chestnuts.
