We've deviated slightly from the classic version of a popular Thai soup by adding rice to make it more substantial. Serve it with lime wedges; a squirt at the table does wonders.

Ingredients

1 lb. boneless and skinless chicken breasts
3 tbsp. Asian fish sauce (nam pla or nuoc mam)
1 1/2 tbsp. lime juice
1 qt. plus 3/4 cup canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
3 stalks lemongrass
One 1-inch piece peeled fresh ginger
1/2 c. long-grain rice
1 3/4 c. unsweetened coconut milk (15-ounce can)
2 fresh red chiles or jalapeño peppers
3 tbsp. Chopped cilantro

Instructions

In a medium glass dish or stainless-steel pan, combine the chicken strips with the fish sauce and lime juice. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, bring the broth, lemongrass, and ginger to a simmer. Add the rice; simmer until the rice is almost done, about 15 minutes.
Add the coconut milk and bring back to a simmer. Stir in the chicken and marinade and cook until the chicken is just done, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chiles and cilantro.
Notes: Asian fish sauce is available at Asian markets and many supermarkets
Wine Recommendation: Semidry German riesling proves its food-friendliness by complementing this complex soup.
