Directions

Step 1
Bring the broth to a boil in a pot. Add the lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves. Simmer for 5-7 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Step 2
Add the chicken breast or shrimp to the simmering broth and cook until just done (chicken will take longer than shrimp, about 5-8 minutes).
Step 3
Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice, and chili paste. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 4
Add the mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Step 5
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh red chilies and chopped coriander. Serve hot.
