Number Of Ingredients 11

One 14-ounce can coconut milk
6 thin slices fresh galangal or 4 slices fresh ginger
2 lemongrass stalks, tough outer portion removed tender portion only, chopped and crushed in mortar
5 fresh kaffir lime leaves, torn inhalf, or 1 tablespoon grated lime zest
3/4 pound boneless and skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
5 tablespoons Thai or Vietnamese fish sauce
2 tablespoons palm sugar or granulated sugar
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro (fresh coriander)
25 fresh green bird's-eye chiles or 15 fresh green Thai chiles or 8 green serrano chiles, crushed in a mortar with the pestle

Steps:

Add the chicken, fish sauce, and sugar, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer until the chicken is white and firm, about 4 minutes. Add the remaining coconut milk and heat to just below boiling, about 3 minutes.
  • 2. Divide the lime juice and curry paste into individual serving bowls and ladle the soup over them. Garnish each bowl with the cilantro and crushed chile peppers. Serve immediately.

This soup was easy to make and very flavorful. I used canned coconut milk, which made it even easier. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the soup, which gave it a little more texture and flavor. I will definitely be making this soup agai

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but this soup was surprisingly good. The coconut milk flavor was not overpowering, and the soup was actually quite light and refreshing. I would definitely recommend this soup to anyone, even if you're not a fan of coco

This soup was delicious! I made it for my family last night and everyone loved it. The coconut milk gave it a really rich and creamy flavor, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this soup again.
