The ingredients for Cilantro and Coconut Soup are:

2 cups chicken broth (or water or vegetable broth)
2 inch piece of fresh ginger unpeeled, but chopped
6 green onions, finely chopped
4 small red chilies, seeded finely chopped (I like it hot so I leave the seeds in)
2 lemon grass stalks, chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped
1 bunch cilantro, leaves reserved, stalks and roots finely chopped
juice of 1 lime
3 Tbsp fish sauce - it was a little salty for me but my hubby loved it
1 can (14 oz) light coconut milk
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Here is how you make Cilantro and Coconut Soup:

Heat together the broth, ginger, onions, chilies, lemongrass and garlic. Simmer gently for 30 minutes. Add cilantro roots and stalks, lime juice, fish sauce, and coconut milk. Simmer gently for 5 minutes. Strain (this is very important!) and return to the pan. Finely chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the soup with the cream. Warm through and serve over 1/2 package Trader Joe's thai style lime pilaf. Garnish with 7 shrimp on the top. For those of you who don't do carbs its easy to leave out the rice. Yum Yum!!
