Tender pieces of chicken breast absorb the flavorful broth, making every spoonful satisfying and warming.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the condensed chicken broth, unsweetened coconut milk, and sliced lemongrass.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the chicken breast half, and simmer until the chicken is almost cooked through, turning occasionally, about 12 minutes.
  4. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it cool slightly.
  5. Remove the skin and bones from the chicken, then cut the meat into 1/2-inch pieces.
  6. Strain the soup through a sieve into a small saucepan, discarding the lemongrass and solids.
  7. Add 1 tablespoon of lime juice and the minced jalapeño to the strained soup.
  8. Simmer the soup until reduced to 2 cups, about 20 minutes.
  9. Add the cut chicken pieces to the soup and simmer just long enough to heat them through.
  10. Taste the soup and add more lime juice if desired for extra acidity.
  11. Ladle the hot soup into bowls.
  12. Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
