- 400 ml
tin coconut milk

- Step 1
Whiz the garlic, spring onions, root ginger, chilli, coriander and coconut milk in a blender until smooth. Heat oil in a large pan over a medium heat and add the blended coconut mixture. Bring to the boil, then add the stock and chicken strips and simmer for 15min or until chicken is cooked through.

Use a slotted spoon to lift out roughly half the chicken pieces and set aside. Blend the remaining soup (you may need to do this in batches) until smooth, then return to the rinsed-out pan. Add reserved chicken, chopped sweetcorn and sugar snap peas, and the fish sauce.
- Step 3
Heat through and simmer just until the vegetables are tender. Check seasoning, then drizzle on the soy sauce and garnish with a little extra coriander. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
