A coconut based Thai soup with fresh, strong flavors.
Except for the green chili and chopped cilantro leaves, bring all ingredients to simmer in a 5- to 6 quart Dutch oven. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, to blend flavors, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain broth discarding lemon grass, cilantro stems, and ginger; shred chicken thighs into bite-size pieces. Return broth to a simmer, add the shredded chicken and heat through. Serve, garnishing with sliced chilis and chopped cilantro.

I’ve made this a few times and it is great! thank you!
I like to add cauliflower and broccoli to make it a one pot meal even though I’m sure that makes it less traditional!
I also use about 1/8 c of fish sauce to cut down on sodium.

I love this soup–it has fantastic flavor! I tweak it just a bit by substituting red pepper flakes in place of the green chili (more for convenience than anything else) and adding in some freshly sliced mushrooms.

I have to say, on behalf of my Thai mother, after reading over this recipe…that seems like waaay too much fish sauce. I would dial it back to no more than a tablespoon.
Fish sauce can have an unbelievably high sodium content.

This is delicious. I used an extra can of coconut milk and some water for the chicken broth and added a large head of chopped cauliflower after straining the flavored broth, simmering til it was tender. Really enjoyed the flavors!
Looking forward to tomorrow’s leftovers as I’m sure the flavors will blend and intensify.
Cauliflower is one of my go to meat replacers. I generally use it in place of chicken.
