Thai-Inspired Chicken Meatball Soup
It starts with ginger-scented chicken-cilantro meatballs that are browned, then simmered in a fragrant coconut milk broth that’s inspired by tom kha gai, a Thai chicken-coconut soup seasoned with lemongrass, galangal, makrut lime leaves and chile. A heap of spinach is added for color and flavor, and a squeeze of lime adds brightness and punch. The soup is brothy, so serve it over rice or another grain to make it a full meal.-Recommend cooking the meatballs close to done in the pan (had to simmer 30 mins...). I used turkey and added an egg and 1/2c panko for binding (meatballs were falling apart).-
