Ingredients

3 cups homemade chicken stock 

3 T fresh-squeezed lime juice

5-6 thin slices fresh ginger root

2 medium garlic cloves, sliced in half

1 1/2 T soy sauce

1 1/2 T sweetener of your choice

1 can coconut milk 

2 cups leftover diced turkey

1/2 tsp.

1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Directions

Slice 5-6 thin slices of ginger root. Peel 2 medium garlic cloves and slice in half. Put homemade chicken stock into a heavy soup pot and bring to a low simmer, then add ginger root slices, garlic cloves, lime juice, soy sauce, and Stevia Granulated Sweetener or brown sugar. Let simmer on low for about 20 minutes, or until flavors are well blended. While the soup base simmers, shred apart the leftover turkey into bite-sized pieces until you have 2 cups. After 20 minutes remove the garlic and ginger pieces and add diced turkey , coconut milk, and Green Tabasco Sauce or other hot sauce or diced chile to the soup and let it continue to simmer on low about 6 minutes more. Be sure the heat is low enough that the soup won’t boil after the coconut milk has been added. After 6 minutes add the cooked brown rice or pre-cooked Cauliflower Rice and let it simmer for a couple of minutes while you wash and chop the cilantro Add chopped herbs or green onions and simmer for 1-2 minutes more. Serve hot, with sliced limes to squeeze into the soup if desired.
