Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and garlic, and saute for 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Add the ginger and spices, and saute for another minute or so. Add the chicken, coconut milk, and broth, and let simmer for 20 minutes (it can go forever and ever, but you’re going to want to eat this soon - promise!)
If you’re adding orzo, pasta, or rice, add it to the soup now. It will need 10ish minutes to cook through. If you’re using real rice, you may want to cook it separately to ensure it’s tender!
A few minutes before serving, stir in the peas and vinegar. Let the soup bubble away, then bring to a simmer and add the miso. Top with lime juice, mint and cilantro before serving.
