Ingredients

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 Tbsp. Lemongrass Powder
  • 1 Tbsp. Galangal Root, Ground
  • 2 Tbsp. Shallots
  • 2 tsp. palm sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. Fish Sauce
  • 1 can (13.5 oz.) Coconut Milk
  • 1 large tomato, sliced into 1/8th sections
  • 5 oz. Mushrooms
  • 3 Makrut Lime leaves
  • 1-3 whole Thai Chilies, dried
  • 1 large chicken breast or 2 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, diced to bite sized pieces
  • 2 green onions, sliced on a diagonal bias
  • 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
  • ¼- ⅓ cup lime juice, to personal taste

Directions

Step 1

Pour chicken broth into a wok or a soup pot, then add the lemongrass powder, ground galangal root, and shallots. Bring it to a boil over medium high heat.

Step 2

Once the soup reaches a boil, add in the palm sugar, fish sauce, coconut milk, tomato slices, mushrooms, lime leaves, Thai chilis, and the chicken. Stir everything together, then cook until it reaches a simmer.

Step 3

Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium and let the soup cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes, or until fully cooked through.

Step 4

Next, add the green onion slices and the chopped cilantro. Turn off the heat, then add the lime juice. If you add ¼ cup, it will be a creamier soup, and if you go up to ⅓ cup, it will be a tangier soup.

Step 5

Enjoy with warm and fluffy jasmine rice!
