Directions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and spring onion, and stir fry for a few minutes until fragrant. Don’t let the garlic burn or brown. Add the chicken broth and simmer for a couple of minutes, until slightly reduced.

2. Add in the sweet chili sauce, and transfer to a blender and puree until smooth and silky. Add broth to thin out the soup if needed. Set aside.

3. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and add the chicken, stir frying until cooked through and golden brown, not charred. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

4. Divide soup into bowls, garnish with carrot, red cabbage and chicken. Top each serving of soup with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
