Dairy Free Chicken Coconut Curry Soup

This chicken curry soup is a great way to switch up some flavors if you're looking for something new. Chicken, vegetables, coconut milk and curry powder make it a meal that's filling and easy to like, even if you have people at your table who are a little picky.

Since the recipe calls for just soy milk and coconut milk (which aren't really "milk" at all), this is also a great option for someone who is on a dairy free diet. The soy and coconut milks still give a great creaminess and subtle richness that brings out the best in the other flavors. Switch the chicken and chicken stock to tofu and vegetable stock and this can easily be a vegan meal, too!

This soup is great on its own, as a side to a larger dish, or served over brown rice to fill out the meal.

In a medium stock pot, saute the onions, carrots and celery. Add the stock, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

In another skillet or pan on medium-high heat, cook the chicken in a little oil until browned on both sides (5-7 minutes per side). Cut into pieces and add to the broth.

Next, add the cauliflower and broccoli, and the curry powder. Simmer until the vegetables are just tender, then add the soy milk and coconut milk. Add cayenne and salt to taste, then simmer on low for 15-20 minutes (don't let it come to a full boil during that time).
