Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp oil
1 stalk lemongrass (remove outer sheath and finely mince the bottom 3 inches of the stalk)
2 tbsp fresh ginger (peel and finely mince)
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 small onion, sliced vertically to form thin strips
2 tbsp thai red curry paste
2 tbsp tom kha paste
6 cups chicken stock
3 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp sugar
2 (14 oz) cans unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 dash asian chili sauce
1 -2 boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 tomato, chopped
1 (8 oz) package fresh baby corn, about (i buy this at trader joe's)
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
cilantro leaf (to garnish )

Directions:

Heat oil in a large stock pot Add the lemon grass, ginger, garlic, and onion and stir fry for about one minute.
Add the curry paste and Tom Kha soup mix paste and stir fry for about 30 seconds.
Add the chicken stock, fish sauce, and sugar and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Slice the baby corn vertically into four pieces so that the corn resembles small strips.
Add the corn to the pot and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the coconut milk, chicken, mushrooms, tomato, lime juice, hot sauce, and pepper flakes.
Simmer until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Taste the soup and add more sugar, lime juice, or hot sauce, depending on your taste.
I usually add one more TBS of sugar.
Serve the soup garnished with cilantro leaves.
Note: If you have leftovers, the coconut milk will separate from the chicken broth when chilled.
Simply warm the soup back up and stir to blend.
