    [Servings: <\/strong>2]<\/strong><\/p>

    Method:<\/strong><\/h4>

    Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
    <\/strong>Wash the chicken and slice it into bite-sized pieces. If using chicken with bones, remove the bones and keep them aside to add extra depth to the stock.<\/p>

    Step 2: Build the Aromatic Base
    <\/strong>In a pot over medium heat, add the chicken stock along with the chicken bones, galangal, lemongrass, and lime leaves. Let it slowly come to a boil to blend the flavours.<\/p>

    Step 3: Add the Chicken
    <\/strong>Once the broth is fragrant and gently bubbling, add the chicken pieces. Let them cook for about 5-6 minutes, so they stay tender and juicy.<\/p>

    Step 4: Bring in the Coconut Milk
    <\/strong>Lower the heat slightly and slowly stir in Coco Mama\u2019s coconut milk. Add fish sauce, palm sugar, salt, and pepper. Let the soup simmer gently, not boil, so the coconut milk stays silky and smooth, keeping up all the Thai aromatics.<\/p>

    Step 5: Finish the Soup
    <\/strong>Add mushrooms, tomatoes, and roasted Thai chillies. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Once everything is perfectly cooked, turn off the heat and stir in lime juice, coriander, and spring onions.<\/p>

    Step 6: Serve Warm
    <\/strong>Serve hot, and if you prefer, you can have it along with jasmine rice.<\/p>

    Some recipes are followed once, but this one becomes a habit when you try it with Coco Mama\u2019s creamy and delicious coconut milk.<\/strong><\/p>
