2 tablespoons oil (olive, sunflower or coconut)
1 small red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, sliced in 1-inch long strips
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced in 1-inch long strips
2 medium size tomatoes, chopped in 1-inch pieces
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons green curry paste
1 teaspoon yellow curry powder
1 can coconut milk
3 cups chicken stock
1/2 piece medium size ginger root, grated
2 stalks lemongrass, top dry part removed and smashed to release fragrance
4 kaffir lime leaves (if not available use the zest of 1 lime)
12 ounces fish (mahi-mahi or other firm fish), cut into bite size - or- 1.5 pounds of skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
1/2 lime, juiced
handful of cilantro leaves

1
Heat the oil in a large pot, add the peppers and onions, and lower the heat to medium-high. Saute for 2 minutes stirring frequently. Add the curry paste/powder, tomatoes and garlic and saute for an additional minute. Add the coconut milk, chicken stock, lemongrass, ginger, kaffir lime leaves and salt to taste. Stir gently. Bring the soup to a boil, then set the heat on low and simmer for 15 minutes stirring from time to time.
2
If using chicken, toss the chicken into the soup and simmer until the chicken is cooked through. If using fish, add the fish and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the fish is soft and tender (be careful to not overcook; fish can easily become tough and chewy if cooked for a long time).
3
Remove the lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves from the soup, add the lime juice and serve with fresh cilantro leaves, lime wedges and steamed rice.
