THAI CHICKEN SOUP WITH COCONUT MILK (TOM KA GAI)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Slice and mince the lower portion of the lemongrass stalk. Retain the upper stalk for the soup pot.
• Place chicken broth in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. If you have leftover chicken or turkey bones, add those too. Bring to a boil.
• Add the chicken and mushrooms.
• Then add the prepared lemongrass-including the upper stalk pieces-the makrut lime leaves, and fresh chilies.
• Boil 5 to 8 minutes or until the chicken is cooked. Reduce heat down to medium.
• Add the galangal or ginger, 1/2 can of the coconut milk, the fish sauce, and extra vegetables (if using). Stir well and simmer gently for 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
• Add the lime juice and stir. Do a taste test. Look for a balance between spicy, sour, salty, and sweet flavors. Start with saltiness, adding more fish sauce if the soup is not salty or flavorful enough, 1 tablespoon at a time. If it's too sour, add the brown sugar. If the soup is too spicy or if you'd like it creamier, add more coconut milk. If it's not spicy enough, add more chilies.
• Ladle the soup into serving bowls. Sprinkle a little fresh coriander, basil, and spring onions over each bowl.
