Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 stalks fresh lemon grass, trimmed and cut 6 inches long
4 1/2 cups unsweetened canned coconut milk
1 1/2 cups fresh or canned chicken stock
1 pound boneless chicken cut in large bite-size pieces
20 slices fresh galangal or ginger each the size of a quarter
10 black peppercorns
6 makrut lime leaves, optional
1 cup well-drained canned straw mushrooms halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce (nuoc mam), or to taste
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon whole fresh coriander leaves

Steps:

  • Trim the roots from the lemon grass and strip away the outer leaves. Bruise the stalks at 2-inch intervals with the blunt edge of a knife or cleaver; then, cut each crosswise into four pieces. Set aside.
  • Combine the coconut milk and the chicken stock in a 3-quart saucepan, and bring to a gentle boil. Stir in the lemon grass, chicken, galangal, peppercorns and lime leaves. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms, remove from heat and stir in the fish sauce and lime juice. Taste for seasoning, adding more fish sauce and lime juice if desired. Scatter with coriander leaves, and serve.

This soup is a great way to sneak in some extra vegetables for my kids. They love the creamy coconut broth and they don't even notice the vegetables.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut milk, but this soup was surprisingly delicious. The sweetness of the coconut milk paired perfectly with the savory chicken and vegetables.

This chicken coconut soup was a hit with my family! The flavors were so well-balanced and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
