Food Friday - Thai Soup

Our favorite summer soup. Nice and light, but plenty filling.

• 1 package firm tofu
• 2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
• 4 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or basil (or both)

Bring coconut milk and water to a boil. Add cubed tofu. Reduce heat. Add ginger, fish sauce, lime juice, cayenne powder and turmeric. Simmer 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with scallions and fresh cilantro/basil and serve steaming hot.
