Background
This Thai chicken soup with mushrooms is a zingy version that's lovely on a cold day or perfect when you have a cold.
Ingredients
- 1 lemon grass stalk
- 2 cm ginger
- 6 spring onions
- 2 red chillies
- 2 litres chicken stock
- 500g chicken thigh fillets or breast fillets
- 150g shiitake (or other Asian) mushroom
- 2 Tbsp Thai fish sauce
- 1 tsp palm sugar (or unrefined cane)
- 100g baby spinach leaves

- Remove the outside layer of the lemon grass, then slice it into thin rings.
- Thinly slice the spring onion diagonally (the green part too).
- Pour the stock into a saucepan, add the ginger, spring onions and lemon grass slices. Bring to the boil, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice the mushrooms and cut the chicken into strips about 5 x 1 cm thick.
