Coconut-Lime Turkey and Rice Soup

From KalynsKitchen.com.  Serves 4-6.

3 C homemade chicken stock

3 T fresh lime juice

5-6 thin slices fresh ginger root
2 med garlic cloves, slice in half
1-1/2 T soy sauce
1-1/2 T brown sugar
1 can light coconut milk
2 C leftover diced or shredded turkey
1/2 t (or more) green tabasco sauce or a diced fresh chile if you like it spicy

1-1/2 C cooked brown rice
1/2 C chopped cilantro or Thai basil leaves or scallions

• Put chicken stock into a heavy soup pot and start to simmer; add ginger slices and garlic halves, lime juice, soy sauce and brown sugar. Let simmer on low for about 20 minutes, or until flavors are well blended.
• Add shredded turkey, coconut milk and Tabasco sauce or green chile and let it continue to simmer about 6 minutes more.  Be sure the heat is low enough so that it doesn't boil after the coconut milk has been added.
• After 6 minutes, add the rice and let simmer for a while longer.  Add chopped herbs or scallions and let simmer for 1-2 minutes more.
