Cooking Soup

Maddy has been really really into helping us cook lately. If she even sees you in the kitchen, she runs and grabs a dining room chair and pushes it up to the counter and exclaims "my cook too!" Sometimes its hard to find things that a 2 year old can safely do, but usually we can find something that keeps her engaged and excited. This past weekend I made Coconut Curry Chicken Soup and of course she wanted to help. For those of you that like Thai or Indian food, you'll LOVE this soup. And its a Cooking Light recipe, so even better.

Maddy helped peel the shallot, measure the sugar, and pour in the coconut milk. She had a really good time! As much as she typically likes ethnic food, she did NOT like the taste of this soup. Oh well, maybe next time!

Here's the finish product (thanks for the photo Cooking Light, yours looked much better than mine)!
