Green Curry Chicken Soup with Brown Rice

I have been enjoying the new world of cooking Thai food. It is fun to try some new foods, and expand into some new flavors. My family is enjoying too. The nice thing is most of the foods I have found don't require a lot of prep time.

This soup is nice. I will add more vegetables into next time. To give it some added nutrition. Enjoy a nice light meal. :)
