A flavorful and aromatic Thai Chicken Soup featuring tender chicken breast simmered in creamy coconut milk, infused with fresh lemongrass, ginger, and a hint of lime, balanced by the umami of fish sauce and fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced

Liquids

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 1 stalk lemongrass, smashed
  • 2 inches fresh ginger, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the broth: In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, coconut milk, smashed lemongrass stalk, and sliced fresh ginger. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, allowing the flavors to infuse for about 5 minutes.
  2. Add chicken and vegetables: Add the diced chicken breast, sliced red bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms into the simmering broth. Cook for approximately 15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

  4. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves to enhance the aroma and add freshness.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breast with thigh meat for a juicier texture.
  • Adjust the amount of fish sauce and lime juice according to your preferred balance of salty and sour.
  • For a spicier variation, add sliced fresh chili or chili paste.
  • Remove the lemongrass stalk before serving to avoid a tough texture in the soup.
  • This soup is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
