How to Make Spicy Asian Chicken And Shrimp Soup

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine 6 cups chicken broth, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. While the broth simmers, toss 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces with 1 tablespoon cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. Add the coated chicken, 8 ounces peeled and deveined shrimp, and 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms to the simmering broth. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the shrimp is pink and opaque.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in 1 cup snap peas, 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper, 1/2 cup bean sprouts, 1 teaspoon lime zest, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  5. Let the soup stand for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro and a lime wedge, if desired.
