Chicken in spicy coconut broth

 THIS WONDERFULLY AROMATIC SOUP, called tom ka gai, is one of my favourite Thai starters. It is incredibly easy to make and cooks in next to no time. For a quick midweek supper, serve larger bowls – tossing in some blanched rice noodles and a handful of beansprouts and coriander leaves. Simple and delicious.

SERVES 4-6

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 250g sea salt and black pepper
400ml tin reduced-fat coconut milk
600ml water
3cm knob of fresh root ginger, peeled and sliced
4 kaffir lime leaves, torn in half (or pared zest of 1 lime)
1 lemongrass stalk, trimmed and halved lengthway
2 red chillies, halved lengthways and deseeded
1 tbsp palm sugar (or soft light brown sugar)
2½ tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp lime juice, or to taste
100g button mushrooms, cleaned handful of coriander leaves, to garnish

 

Thinly slice the chicken breasts, cutting across the grain, into bite-sized pieces. Place in a bowl, season with a little salt and pepper and set aside.

Pour the coconut milk into a saucepan, then add the 600ml water, using the tin as a measure (i.e. ½ tins). Add the ginger, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, chillies, sugar, fish sauce and lime juice. Bring to a simmer and cook gently, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse.

Add the mushrooms to the broth and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken, stir well and simmer until cooked through; this will only take 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if you need to.

Serve the soup in warm bowls, discarding the ginger, lemongrass, chillies and lime leaves if you wish; traditionally, these aromatics are left in the soup but not eaten. Garnish each bowl with some coriander leaves and serve immediately.

New England clam chowder

New England

clam chowder

REGARDED AS ONE OF THE GREAT AMERICAN SOUPS, this is rich and creamy, with a delectable savoury flavour from the bacon and clams. The traditional garnish is oyster crackers. In San Francisco, clam chowder is sometimes served in hollowed-out sourdough bread bowls, as a sustaining lunch.

SERVES 4-6

1kg live clams, cleaned splash of dry white wine
1 tbsp olive oil
10Og maple-cured bacon, cut into strips
2 onions, peeled and finely
chopped
2 celery sticks, trimmed (any
leaves reserved) and finely chopped
3 large floury potatoes, about
600g, peeled and finely diced
1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped 30g butter
2V2 tbsp plain flour 500ml chicken stock 200ml double cream
2 tbsp celery leaves, chopped
(optional)
1 bay leafsea salt and black pepper handful of flat-leaf parsley, leaves torn

 

Heat a large heavy-based saucepan until hot. Tip in the clams, add a splash of wine and cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid. Give it a shake and let the clams steam for 3-4 minutes until the shells have opened.

Tip the clams into a colander set over a large bowl to collect the juices. When cool enough to handle, shell most of the clams, leaving some in their shells for an attractive presentation; discard any that remain closed.

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan, add the bacon and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until crisp. Add the onions, celery, potatoes and garlic to the pan and fry gently for 6-8 minutes until starting to soften.

Add the butter, then the flour and cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes. Gradually add the stock to the pan, stirring constantly. Pour in the cream and the reserved juices from the clams. Add the chopped celery leaves, if available, bay leaf and seasoning. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the chowder is thick.

Add all of the clams and warm through over a low heat, stirring, for 2-3 minutes; do not allow to boil. Ladle into warm bowls and serve, sprinkled with parsley.
