PREPARATION

Lightly crush the lemongrass. Roughly chop the spices and roast everything in a non-stick pan without adding fat until fragrant. Add coconut milk and simmer for 10 minutes. Add fish stock and wine, simmer for another 15 minutes, season with fish sauce, palm sugar, and lime juice. Strain the liquid through a sieve. Then bring the liquid to a strong boil again. Clean and halve the mushrooms. Add them to the soup along with the chicken pieces and spring onions. Simmer for just under 10 minutes on a low heat until the meat is cooked through. Ladle into soup bowls. Tear some fresh coriander into pieces and scatter over the soup portions. Serve with jasmine rice. If you like it spicy, you can, of course, garnish the soup with more chilies.
