I took this recipe from Stupid-Easy Paleo here: http://stupideasypaleo.com/2013/05/10/thai-coconut-soup-tom-kha/ 

I just changed it up a little w/ lite coconut milk, fat-free, low sodium chicken broth. Also, don't stress over using fresh ginger - I used jarred ginger ;)

Serves: Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 14 oz (420 ml) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 cups (475 ml) chicken stock
  • 1 lb (454 grams) shrimp or chicken breast
  • 1" piece of ginger, peeled and sliced into ⅛" rounds
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) lime juice
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) fish sauce
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) sriracha (omit for Whole30)
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp by peeling and deveining if not already done prior to purchase. If using chicken, cut into small chunks.
  2. In a pot over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, chicken stock and ginger. Bring the liquid to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer.
  3. Add the shrimp or chicken, mushrooms, lime juice, fish sauce and sriracha. Simmer until the shrimp (less than 5 min) or the chicken (about 10 minutes) is cooked through.
  4. Top with fresh chopped cilantro for garnish.
