900 mL carton chicken broth
400-mL can coconut milk
2 cups sliced button mushrooms
14-g pkg dried shiitake mushrooms, coarsely chopped
199-mL can sliced bamboo shoots
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp hot chili-garlic sauce
2 limes
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
Pour broth and coconut milk into a large saucepan and set over medium heat. Whisk to mix. Add fresh and dried mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and fish and chili-garlic sauces. Grate peel from limes into soup, then squeeze in juice of one lime. Cover and bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, slice chicken into bite-size strips. Stir into soup as soon as it boils, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, 6 to 8 min. Taste and add more lime juice if needed. Sprinkle with cilantro. Soup will keep well, covered and refrigerated, for 1 day.

Inspired by classic Thai broth, our coconut version is incredibly comforting. Dried shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots add flavour and depth to this one-bowl dinner.
