Tortellini Feta Curried Chowder
Ingredients
- 32 ounces no salt or low salt chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 3 tablespoons Asian sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons ginger-root, grated
- 13.5 oz can coconut milk
- 9 ounces refrigerated tortellinis
- 8 ounces tomato basil, feta
- 1 c. fresh snow peas
- 1/2 c. red bell peppers, diced
- 2 1/2 tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped
Directions
- In a Dutch oven combine stock, curry paste, chili sauce and ginger. Simmer and cover for 10 minutes. Add coconut milk and bring to a simmer.
- Add tortellinis to Dutch oven. Cook about 5-6 minutes over medium heat. Stir in feta cheese until smooth. Add snow peas and bell peppers, stir. Adjust salt to taste when tortellinis are cooked through. Stir in lime juice. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve hot accompanied by more lime wedges for individual diners to add as preferred.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
This dish is inspired by Thai coconut soup. To create a more fusion recipe, tortellinis and feta were added for a Mediterranean twist. This dish is colorful and very quick to make on busy weeknights. The lime juice is a must because it brightens the flavors.
