Thai Coconut Curry Soup

I have gotten a lot of requests for my recipe of this soup,
so here it is:
(and remember, I just kind of make it up as I go along ... so it is different every time ... so I hope this one works out for you! Good luck!)

Thai Coconut Curry Soup

In a frying pan, brown cubed chicken with a little bit of garlic in some olive oil.

In large soup pot, mix:


3 cups chicken broth
2 Tablespoons lime juice
1 Tablespoon fish sauce
some fresh ginger, minced

Add:

1-2 teaspoons of yellow curry powder, or to taste
1 can coconut milk
1 can chopped pineapple (undrained)
a dash of red pepper flakes
cubed potatoes

Bring to boiling; reduce heat and simmer about 8 minutes or until potatoes are more tender (not completely done yet though)

Add:
Chopped green peppers
Browned chicken

Simmer until peppers are crisp-tender, then add:
Sugar snap peas
Shredded carrots
Water chestnuts
Simmer for 1 minute longer until peas are crisp-tender (and hopefully potatoes are done, too)
Stir in about ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Serve over hot cooked rice
