Yum!
I was looking for a soup that had all of those luscious Thai flavors I love, while not having to go out to a Thai restaurant. I also needed it to be able to be made quickly, after all it was a week night. This soup filled all of my requirements. The only thing I changed about it was right at the end of cooking, I added 1 cup leftover cooked basmati rice and 2 cups of fresh, chopped spinach. I made it as an entrée and felt without those doing that, it is more of a soup to serve as an appetizer course. By the way, this soup is one of those dishes that tastes even better the next day, even though the flavors are spectacular from the start!
I liked steeping the lemongrass, garlic and fresh ginger chunky with chicken stock separately and then straining it into the sautéed chicken, red onion and mushrooms. That way you don't have to chop and mince it, while still maintaining all the integrity of those great flavors. Makes for an easy dinner on a busy week night.
Here's the link to the recipe on how to make this wonderful soup.

Serve with thinly sliced jalapeno peppers and cilantro, if you like a little extra heat like me.
