Asian Inspired Chicken Soup

Its cold and rainy outside right now, so I wanted to share my favorite soup I have ever made 🙂

• 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (or more if you like it spicy)
• sea salt to taste
• 1 15 oz. can lite coconut milk
• 1 15 oz. can full-fat coconut milk
  • if you like your soup on the richer/creamer side, use two full fat cans and omit the lite can

• 2 cups of shredded chicken breast
  • you can use a rotisserie chicken or boil and shred your own
