Number Of Ingredients 9

3 3/4 cup light coconut milk (30 ounces)
6 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
2 fresh lemongrass stalks, trimmed and thinly sliced
2 scallions, thinly sliced (about 3 tablespoons)
3 to 4 Thai Dragon chiles (red, green, or a combination), thinly sliced into rings, plus a sprig for garnish
5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons Thai fish sauce
3 sprigs fresh cilantro, shredded, plus more leaves for garnish
Bird chiles, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring coconut milk to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add chicken and lemongrass. Reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is just cooked through, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir in scallions and Dragon chiles, and cook until heated through, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Stir in lime juice, fish sauce, and shredded cilantro. Garnish with cilantro leaves and Bird chiles. Serve immediately.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the creamy coconut milk and the sweet carrots and celery.

I made this soup with chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts and it turned out great! The chicken thighs were very tender and flavorful.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili peppers from this recipe. The soup was still very flavorful and delicious.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend and then use it to make this soup during the week.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. I just threw all of the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

I used low-fat coconut milk in this soup and it turned out great! The soup was still very creamy and flavorful, but it was also a bit healthier.
