An easy and healthy Thai chicken soup. Serve over rice. Add more fish sauce or chile paste to taste.
Ingredients
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
- ¼ cup sweet red chile sauce
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 (1 1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger, sliced
- 10 makrut lime leaves, torn in half
- 1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into strips
- 1 (15 ounce) can straw mushrooms
- 1 cup coarsely chopped onion
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 lemongrass stalk, chopped
- 1 bunch fresh basil, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Warm chicken broth and coconut milk together in a stockpot over medium heat; add chile sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and lime leaves. Bring broth mixture to a low simmer until flavors have blended, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Remove stockpot from heat and strain out ginger and lime leaves. Return broth mixture to the stockpot and bring to a simmer. Cook chicken in the simmering broth until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, onion, zucchini, lemongrass, and basil and simmer until onion softens, about 3 minutes.
Tips
I pick up makrut lime leave at an Asian market in Seattle and I've found that they keep really well in the freezer. You can also buy them online — fresh, dried, or powdered. I also sub fresh lemongrass with a squeeze of lemongrass paste, as fresh is not available in my local store.
