Thai Chicken & Vegetable Soup

I discovered this soup when I purchased a carton of culinary broth at a popular discount store. It was so easy and tastes like something you'd eat at your favorite Thai restaurant. It's got a decent dose of folic acid from broccoli, but may be a little high in sodium for some. Enjoy!Ingredients:1 cup chopped onion1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)1/2 cup diced carrots2 tsp. grated fresh ginger (ginger from a jar can be subbed)1 clove garlic, minced1/2 tsp. curry powder1 Tbsp. canola oil1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes1/2 cup broken vermicelli or rice1 carton (32 oz) College Inn Thai Coconut Culinary Broth1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice1 cup diced/cooked chicken1 cup light coconut milk1/4 cup each green chopped onions and cilantroDirections:
