Method
Directions
Prepare the broth
In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add aromatics
Add bruised lemongrass, sliced galangal, and sliced shallots to the pot. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Cook the chicken
Add the chicken breast to the pot and cook until it's fully cooked through, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the chicken, shred it, and set aside.
Add mushrooms and seasoning
In the same broth, add the sliced mushrooms and whole bird's eye chilies. Let it cook for another 5 minutes.
Finish the soup
Return the shredded chicken to the pot, add fish sauce and lime juice. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Garnish and serve
Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro leaves.
