Description

A comforting and aromatic Thai chicken soup with layers of flavor from fresh herbs and spices.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Chicken thighs, boneless
  • 2 Lemongrass stalks, chopped
  • 3 slices Fresh ginger
  • 1 can Coconut milk, full-fat
  • 1 cup Bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups Chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp Fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp Lime juice
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Chop your veggies, slice the chicken, and smash that ginger.
  2. Sauté aromatics: In a big pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Throw in chopped lemongrass and ginger, and sauté until fragrant (2-3 minutes).
  3. Cook chicken: Add your chicken thighs and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add broth: Pour in chicken broth. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to let it simmer.
  5. Stir in veggies: Toss in sliced bell peppers and mushrooms. Let them cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Coconut milk and sauce: Stir in coconut milk, fish sauce, and a splash of lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  7. Finish with herbs: Right at the end, mix in fresh cilantro for that burst of flavor.

Notes
