Ingredients
2 Chicken legs or breasts, bone and skin removed, roughly cut into squares3 tbsp Fish Sauce 1 cup roughly chopped Savoy Cabbage10 slices (1" dia) Ginger Root 1 pepper Jalapeno Peppers (sliced for garnish)2 tsp A Taste of Thai - Red Curry Paste 4 tbsp Lemongrass, fresh, roughly chopped into 1/2 in. slices10 serving Coconut Milk (JFC) (2 cans)1 red bell pepper, sliced1 handful of fresh cilantro, for garnish2 cup Oyster Mushrooms, roughly chopped8 cups Chicken Broth (substitute low sodium if you prefer)5 lime yields Lime Juice 5 clove Garlic, crushed, peeled, and added whole.5 medium red onion, sliced thinly
Directions
Add chicken broth, lime juice, fish sauce, garlic, lemongrass, ginger root, chicken meat, onion, bell pepper, and cabbage to pot and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and let simmer until chicken is almost cooked and veggies are starting to soften.

Stir in mushrooms, red curry paste, and coconut milk. Do not let liquid return to a boil or the coconut milk will become too frothy vs. creamy.

Continue to cook, stirring often, until mushrooms and all ingredients are now cooked through.

Serve with cilantro and sliced jalapeno for garnish. For this version of the recipe, leave ginger root & lemongrass in the soup to continue flavoring until finished (even as leftovers). Remove from served portions while eating, such as you would remove shells from a seafood dish.
