Ingredients

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

10 cups chicken stock
2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, sliced
½ cup shiitake mushrooms
3 red chile peppers, chopped
8 kaffir lime leaves
2 stalks lemongrass, chopped
2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk
½ cup green bell pepper, chopped
½ cup red bell pepper, chopped
5 tablespoons fish sauce
3 (1 inch) pieces galangal, peeled and chopped
4 tablespoons lime juice
6 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped Thai basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Pour chicken stock in a large pot and bring to a boil; add chicken, mushrooms, chile peppers, lime leaves, and lemongrass. Boil until chicken is no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add coconut milk, bell peppers, fish sauce, and galangal. Boil for 2 minutes; reduce heat to low and add lime juice.
Taste and adjust soup as necessary. Serve with green onions, basil, and cilantro.

Cook's Notes:

You can substitute grated ginger for galangal, and can use fresh or frozen makrut leaves.

Add more fish sauce for salt, add brown sugar for sweet, or coconut milk if too spicy.
