Thai Chicken and Shrimp Soup

My friend Dougie's nephew is the chef at the Kinkell House Hotel and Restaurant. I've been there for lunch several times and the food is always wonderful but the soup today was amazing! Jimmy is a really nice guy and was only too happy to share the recipe that he brought back from a trip to Ireland. So grab your blender and prepare yourself for a visit to food heaven!!

In a blender combine:
2 red chiles
a 1 inch piece of ginger root
4 cloves of garlic
a bunch of coriander ( I suppose this means to your taste)
3 juiced limes
These will blend to a paste. Fry the paste in a bit of olive oil for a couple of minutes.

Add to the paste:
2400g of coconut milk (approx. 85 oz. or 5.25 pints)
1 pint of chicken stock
Reduce the soup for a few minutes.

Add to the soup:
precooked noodles
precooked chicken
precooked shrimp
The amount of these last 3 ingredients is up to you.

Serve and die in your own bliss!
