Love Your Lunchbox
Serves 2
There’s something about Thai food – the nostril-clearing, punchy flavours combined with rich, coconutty broths and curries – that makes it irresistible. I find thigh meat far preferable, in this soup, to breast, but if you want to speed things up a bit, then just poach sliced chicken breast for 5 minutes. You could also use leftover roast chicken.
