​1 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, sliced thin
1 -2 carrots, cubed
1/2 cup celery
1/2  jalapeño pepper, sliced in rings
1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
salt and pepper to taste
1 lemongrass stalk - cut into 3-inch pieces
1 clove garlic, minced

4 cups chicken broth
1 can of coconut milk
1 and 1/2 cups of cooked, chopped chicken (or shrimp)
juice of one lime or lemon

  1. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a fairly large soup pot.  Add onion, carrots, celery, jalapeño, lemongrass, and mushrooms.

  4. Add chicken broth and lime juice and stir.  Bring all to a boil, then turn down to simmer for about 10-15 minutes.

  6. Add coconut milk and cooked chicken or shrimp.  Heat until all is warm. 
  7. Serve alone, over cooked rice or rice vermicelli noodles.  Garnish with cilantro and green onions.
