Method

1

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Slice onion into thin wedges, dice bell pepper into strips, and quarter mushrooms. Mince ginger and cut lemongrass into 2-inch pieces, lightly crushing the stalks to release flavor.

2

Squeeze lime juice fresh and measure out remaining aromatics: curry paste, fish sauce, and sugar.

3

Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add curry paste and minced ginger, stirring constantly for 1 minute until fragrant.

4

Pour in chicken broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Add lemongrass stalks and bring to a simmer.

5

Add chicken pieces and cook for 8–10 minutes until no longer pink inside. Add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms, cooking for another 5–7 minutes until vegetables are tender.

6

Stir in fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional lime juice or fish sauce as needed. Simmer for 1 minute.

7

Ladle soup into bowls, discarding lemongrass stalks. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
