SPICY CHICKEN COCONUT SOUP

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups Poultry

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
Stephen Ceideburg
2 Chicken breast halves
1/2 c Slivered fresh lemon, with
-peel
3 tb Fish sauce
1 1/2 ts Chopped hot chile pepper, or
-to taste
2 Green onions, thinly sliced,
-including part of green top
1 1/2 ts Sugar
4 c Unsweetened coconut milk
2 c Chicken stock
3 ts Minced lemon grass or 1
-teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 c Whole straw mushrooms
1 tb Slivered galangal root or
-ginger root

[I prefer galangal–even dried, to ginger, but ginger
will do. S.C.]

Place chicken breasts in pan with just enough cold
water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium heat;
immediately reduce heat so water barely ripples.
Simmer uncovered, until done, about 12 minutes. Meat
should be moist and opaque throughout; cook only to
just beyond pink stage. Remove breasts and drain well.
Cool to room temperature; remove and discard skin and
bones. Shred meat into bite-sized pieces. Reserve.
Combine slivered lemon, fish sauce, chile pepper,
green onion and sugar; set aside. Combine coconut
milk, chicken stock, lemon grass, mushrooms and
galangal in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Bring
to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until
lemon grass is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Add
reserved chicken and lemon mixture and heat through,
about 3 minutes.

Serves 6 to 8 as a first course or 4 as a main course.
