Thai chicken coconut soup

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 cans -TO
4 cans Coconut milk (the unsweetened kind)
3 tablespoons Chopped scallions TO
3 teaspoons Lemon grass
Cilantro (pref. fresh) *
Tofu cubed into smallish pieces
Chicken also cubed to bite size.
Mushrooms
1 Carrot; grated
Juice from (8?) limes I can never put in enough
Serrano chillies OR- other hot chili pepper, preferably fresh, but powdered will do)
1 teaspoon Galanga powder

Directions

* (I sometimes leave this out. Niels says that's defeating the whole point, but I think it still comes out great) Instructions: ============= Heat the coconut milk in a pot. Add everything else. As the lemon grass is inedible, put it in a tea ball and immerse the ball in the soup so you can retrieve it later.

Cook until the chicken is done and the soup is hot (30 minutes?).

Taste to see if it needs more limes (it always does) or more hot peppers (it's better to start mild and build up to the desired level of spicyness).
