A signature dish of Thailand, this simple soup also works beautifully with a Western menu. In winter, its herbal flavors of galangal, lemongrass and kaffir lime warm the body; in summer, its characteristic lightness makes it pleasingly refreshing.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
DIRECTIONS
| 8 kaffir lime leaves or the zest of 1 regular lime |
| 2 cans (13 1/2 fl oz) coconut milk |
| 2 cups chicken stock |
| 6 fresh or 4 dried galangal slices, each about 1 inch in diameter |
| 4 lemongrass stalks, cut into 2-inch lengths and crushed |
| 4 fresh small green chili peppers, halved |
| 1 tablespoon thai roasted chili paste (nam prik pao) |
1 whole chicken breast, boned, skinned and cut into 1/2-inch cubes  SAVE NOW |
| 1/2 cup drained, canned whole straw mushrooms |
| 1/2 cup drained, canned sliced bamboo shoots |
| 1/4 cup Thai fish sauce |
| Juice of 2 limes (about 6 tablespoons) |
| 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves |
DIRECTIONS
| Place 4 of the lime leaves or half of the zest in a large saucepan. Add the coconut milk, chicken stock, galangal, lemongrass and chilies. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan. Discard the contents of the sieve. |
| Bring the strained stock to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium so that it boils gently. Add the remaining 4 kaffir lime leaves or the remaining half of the zest, roasted chili paste, chicken, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and fish sauce. Boil gently until the chicken is cooked throughout, about 3 minutes. |
| Stir in the lime juice and cilantro leaves. Ladle into warmed soup bowls and serve hot. |
