Ingredients | Soup Recipes With Chicken Broth Base3 cups chicken broth1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk¼ cup sweet red chile sauce3 tablespoons lime juice2 tablespoons fish sauce2 tablespoons brown sugar1 (1 1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger, sliced10 kaffir lime leaves, torn and bruised1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips1 (15 ounce) can straw mushrooms1 cup coarsely chopped onion1 zucchini, sliced1 lemongrass stalk, chopped1 bunch fresh basil, choppedDirectionsWarm chicken broth and coconut milk together in a stockpot over medium heat; add chile sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and kaffir lime leaves. Bring broth mixture to a low simmer until flavors have blended, about 15 minutes.Remove stockpot from heat and strain out ginger and lime leaves. Return broth mixture to the stockpot and bring to a simmer. Cook chicken in the simmering broth until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, onion, zucchini, lemongrass, and basil and simmer until onion softens, about 3 minutes.I pick up kaffir lime leave at an Asian market in Seattle and I've found that they keep really well in the freezer. You can also buy them online - fresh, dried, or powdered.I also sub fresh lemongrass with a squeeze of lemongrass paste, as fresh is not available in my local store.Info | Soup Recipes With Chicken Broth Baseprep:
