  1. Heat oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add onion, chile pepper, lemongrass, ginger, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender, about 8 minutes.

  3. Transfer chicken to a plate and let cool slightly. Shred using 2 forks.

  4. Stir bok choy and coconut milk into soup mixture and let simmer until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Return shredded chicken to the pot. Serve soup with lime wedges and cilantro.

Recipe Note

Found a similar coconut-chicken soup recipe online and attempted to make it. It's worth trying. You can add additional vegetables if desired, I tried it with potatoes and it worked fine, just make sure you cook the potatoes thoroughly beforehand.
