4 Kaffir lime leaves, sliced thinly (if can't find use peel of lime)

1/4 teaspoon ground Turmeric

1 can of Coconut milk (400 ml) from the International section of Grocery Store

1 1/2 cups of Milk

1 1/2 Tablespoon Fish sauce

Directions

Heat oil in large saucepan (or wok); cook lemon grass, ginger, garlic, chilli, lime leaves and turmeric, stirring until fragrant about 2 minutes.

Stir in coconut milk, stock, water, milk and fish sauce (do not be afraid of this sauce, it's not what you might expect, however, no other flavor in the world could substitute fish sauce and EXTREMELY important to this soup); bring to boil. Add chicken; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes.
