Something delicious

The chicken soup that I made for dinner last night (and am enjoying for lunch right now) is pretty tasty. It has an exotic, Caribbean kick to it. Here's the recipe:
  1. Cook a couple chicken breasts on the side in boiling water. Once cooked, chop and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, chop the following vegetables into bite-sized pieces: 1 onion, 1 red bell pepper, 2 celery stalks, 2 carrots, 5 garlic cloves, ground or fresh ginger.
  3. Sauté these vegetables in a soup pot with some canola oil for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add ~8 cups chicken broth, 1 cup flaked coconut, 1 can corn, chopped up chicken. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 mins.
  5. Mix in 1 can coconut milk, Tabasco, coriander, allspice, chopped cilantro, juice of 2 limes, lime zest, salt, and pepper. Simmer for a few more minutes.
