Ingredients

  • 1 package dried Thai rice noodles , 8 ounce
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 stalks lemongrass
  • 1 boneless , skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
  • 1 fresh red chile pepper , minced, or more to taste
  • 1 can coconut milk , 14 ounce
  • 2 tablespoons grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce , Optional

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Remove from heat, add noodles, and cover.

  2. 2

    Peel and discard tough outer leaves from lemongrass. Roughly chop pale inner stalk and transfer to a food processor; pulse until minced, 1 to 2 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium; stir in coconut milk, ginger, fish sauce, and garlic. Simmer soup gently until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 10 to 15 minutes.

    Drain noodles and divide among serving bowls. Ladle soup on top. Garnish with a lime wedge, green onions, and basil.
