Submitted by Nomad - Good soup, nice spice.  I altered this recipe from an old Cooking Light magazine, very easy.  I am not a big cilantro fan, so I don't always have it on hand.  I used fresh basil instead and it was fantastic! 

Ingredients:

• 2 t chopped peeled fresh ginger
• 1 t fish sauce
• 1/2 t minced garlic
• 1/2 t grated lime rind (optional)
• 1/4 t chile paste with garlic
• 3 oz medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 14.5 oz can chicken broth
• 3/4 c light coconut milk (or skim the cream off of regular coconut milk and use the lighter liquid)
• 1 T chopped green onion
• 1.5 t chopped fresh cilantro (basil maybe)
• 1/2 t fresh lime juice
• 1/3 c hot cooked basmati rice

Combine the first 7 ingredients in a med saucepan, and bring mix to a boil.  Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 10 min.
Remove from heat, stir in coconut milk, onions, chopped cilantro, and lime juice.  Spoon rice into a soup bowl, ladle soup over rice.
