Thai Chicken Soup image

Ginger and chiles give this Southeast Asian rendition its aroma and spice, while lemongrass lends the soup a seductive floral note. By swapping the traditional seasonings for more exotic ones, you achieve a soup that's just as soothing as the original but with nuanced layers of flavors.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili peppers if you don't like spicy food.
