Refreshing chicken soup

This is one of my favorite recipes.  I always make this soup when someone in the family has a cold or is feeling a little sick. This soup is really refreshing and cleansing.  I usually double the recipe to have enough to heat up the next day.

2 Tbsp. coconut oil
4 chicken breasts, boneless & skinless, cut in small pieces (2 cm)
3 cm leek, finely chopped
1 red pepper, seeded and diced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 chili red, seeded and dices (I usually use few seeds for extra taste)
1 cm fresh ginger, grated
3 Tbsp. tomato paste (organic or homemade)
2 cans coconut milk
salt and pepper to taste

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt coconut oil.  Add chicken pieces and cook until browned.  Add vegetables and soften them for about 2 minuets.  Add tomato paste and coconut milk. Salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to simmer for 15 minutes at low heat.
