Description

This aromatic chicken soup with coconut milk and galangal is a true delight! I especially like to cook it when it's cold outside, because the slight spiciness warms you from the inside. The combination of coconut milk, lemongrass and galangal gives the soup an exotic touch. The chicken becomes wonderfully tender and the mushrooms provide a pleasant bite. A dash of lime juice rounds off the dish perfectly. If you like it even spicier, you can add fresh chili. This soup is not only delicious, but also relatively quick to prepare and is ideal as a light main course.
