  3. Over medium heat oil in a larger pot or skillet (keep in my you're going to be adding 8 cups of liquid to this pan). Add chicken and brown on either side for 1 minutes or so. You don't want to over cook the chicken at this time as it's going to continue to cook in the soup. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. Add chicken stock, lemongrass, red curry paste, and ginger to the chicken pot above and let simmer for 40 minutes.
  5. Then add the chicken back in and sliced mushrooms, garlic chili sauce, and coconutmilk to the pot. You can also add in other veggies at this time if you want to add more. Cook for about 5 minutes.
