Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breast cubed
- 3 cans coconut milk
- 1 small ginger root
- 2-3 stalks of fresh lemongrass find in produce with fresh herbs
- 3 limes
- 1 onion quartered
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- 2 broccoli crowns chopped
- 2-3 bunches cilantro
- 1 talk green onion chopped
- 2 TB sugar optional
- 1 TB fish sauce
- 1 clove garlic or garlic powder equivalent
Instructions
- Smash ginger root and lemongrass using a mallet to release flavors.
- In a large soup pot or dutch oven, combine: cilantro, ginger, lemongrass, onion, garlic, sugar, and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer (medium heat), cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
- While the broth is cooking, sauté chicken until just underdone (will finish cooking once added to broth.)
- Optional: Steam broccoli to add to the finished soup.
- After 15 minutes is up, strain the broth to remove all of the large chunks of herbs and vegetables. If needed, use a spoon to squeeze out all the juice.
- Add juice from 3 limes and 1TB fish sauce to broth.
- Return broth to large pot and add sliced mushrooms. Cook on low heat for 4-5 minutes until mushrooms are soft.
- Once mushrooms have softened, remove pot from heat. Stir in chicken and broccoli, garnish with cilantro leaves and green onion. Enjoy the soup as an appetizer, or as is traditionally done, served over rice as a meal.
