Instructions

Combine the coconut milk and chicken broth in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Allow the liquid to come to a boil, then stir in the lemongrass, ginger, and lime leaves (if using). Add the chicken and mushrooms, and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes (or until the chicken is cooked through).
Remove the lemongrass and lime leaves. Stir in the fish sauce, scallions, and chilies. Pour into a large serving bowl and serve hot with plenty of cilantro and lime wedges for the table.

Notes

Store Thai Coconut Soup in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To freeze, just allow it to cool completely before freezing in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge if frozen, then warm it on the stove over low heat until heated through. Stir gently to maintain the creamy texture, and avoid boiling to prevent the coconut milk from separating. You can also reheat it in the microwave—heat in short bursts, stirring in between, until just warmed through.
