- 500 ml Chicken stock
- 1 Lemongrass stalk
- 4 Kaffir lime leaves
- 2 tablespoons Red curry paste
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)

Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red curry paste. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Slice the lemongrass stalk into large pieces and slightly smash them with the back of a knife to release the flavor. Add to the pot along with the kaffir lime leaves.
Pour in the chicken stock and coconut milk. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and add them to the pot. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Add the mushrooms and cook for an additional 5 minutes until they have softened.
Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Turn off the heat and mix in the baby spinach, allowing it to wilt in the residual heat.
Remove the lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
