Directions
Pour the chicken stock into a large pot and bringing it to a boil. Once it’s boiling, add the chicken, mushrooms, chile peppers, lime leaves, and lemongrass. Let everything cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, which should take about 10 minutes. Then, turn the heat down to medium and stir in the coconut milk, bell peppers, fish sauce, and galangal. Let the soup come back to a gentle boil for a couple of minutes before lowering the heat to low. Finally, add the lime juice and give it a taste—adjust the seasoning if you need to. Serve it up hot, topped with green onions, basil, and cilantro for a fresh finish.
Serving Style Ideas
Serve the soup hot with a side of steamed jasmine rice or warm crusty bread. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions for extra freshness. A light salad or some crunchy vegetable sticks can complement the creamy texture perfectly.
Storage Suggestions
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid curdling the coconut milk. This soup can also be frozen for up to a month; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
