How to Make Thai Style Chicken Soup
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 cup of chopped leeks and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of Thai red curry powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon of ground coriander. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth, 2 chicken bouillon cubes, 2 stalks of lemongrass (bruised), 1 (13.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk, and 1 teaspoon of sambal oelek (or more, to taste).
- Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of fish sauce to the cornstarch mixture.
- Stir the cornstarch mixture into the simmering soup. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the soup has thickened slightly, about 1-2 minutes. Do not boil.
- Remove and discard the lemongrass stalks.
- Stir in 1-2 Thai chilies (finely chopped, adjust to your spice preference), 2 tablespoons of thinly sliced shallots, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh coriander. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
