It's difficult to prepare just 1/3 cup of rice, so go ahead and make 1 cup, and use the rest later in a stir-fry or fried rice. Serve this soup with Asian Cucumber Salad. Use the remaining canned coconut milk as a marinade for fish or to boost the flavor of rice or couscous.
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon grated lime rind
1/4 teaspoon chile paste with garlic
3 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup light coconut milk
1 tablespoon chopped green onions
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/3 cup hot cooked basmati rice
Directions:
1. Combine the first 7 ingredients in a medium saucepan, and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes.
2. Remove from heat; stir in coconut milk, onions, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Spoon rice into a soup bowl; ladle soup over rice.
