ingredients
16 ounces chicken stock, or broth
2 medium kaffir lime leaves, rolled to release the flavor
1 ounce lemon grass (citronella), bruised to release flavor
1 tablespoon galangal, "kha" sliced thinly (ginger will substitute)
4 tablespoons fish sauce, or to taste
2 tablespoons lime juice, or to taste
4 ounces chicken breast, cut into bite size
5 ounces coconut milk
8 small Thai chiles, slightly crushed
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
directions
Heat the stock, add the lime leaves, lemon grass, galangal, fish sauce, and lime juice. Stir thoroughly and, bring to a boil.
Add the chicken and coconut milk, bring back to the boil, lower the heat to keep it simmering and cook for about 2 minutes (until the chicken is cooked through).
Add crushed chiles and cilantro when serving.
cook's notes
Note that the number of red chiles is a personal choice. It can be as few as half a chile per diner to as many as 8-10 per diner but the dish should retain a balance of flavors and not be overwhelmed by the chiles. Personally I would suggest about 8-12 chiles for this recipe.
Not really intended to be eaten as a separate course, you could serve it with just a serving of steamed white (Jasmine) rice, or together with a Thai meal.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
