Recipe by Gevity Rx

Ingredients:

• 1-1.5kg whole free-range chicken
• 1 garlic bulb, sliced horizontally, plus 4 extra cloves, finely chopped
• 5cm fresh ginger, peeled and chopped, plus 1 tbsp extra, finely chopped
• 1 tsp whole black peppercorns

Stir in coconut milk and simmer until the soup reduces slightly.

Add shredded chicken and lime juice. Serve with fresh coriander and lime wedges.
