Thai Chicken and Lemongrass Soup
Prep time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 30 minutes Yields: 6 servings

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
½ cup sliced bamboo shoots
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 stalks lemongrass, cut in half and bruised to release flavor
1 tablespoon finely minced ginger
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1 can light coconut milk, shaken
Juice of 1 medium lime

Set a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium heat and add the oil. Saute the onions until translucent and soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the bamboo shoots and sauté another 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, fish sauce, lemongrass, and ginger. Simmer 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Add the chicken and let simmer 3 to 4 minutes, or until just cooked through. Stir in the coconut milk and lime juice, remove the lemongrass stalks, and serve hot.

Variations:
For a spicier soup, experiment with whole or sliced Thai or Serrano chilies, removing the seeds and membranes. Add brown basmati or jasmine rice
