2 whole Chicken Breast, Cut In Chunks
1 whole Onion, Chopped
6 cups Water
1 cup Chopped Shiitake Mushrooms (regular Mushrooms Work, Too)
14 ounces, fluid Canned Coconut Milk
1 Tablespoon Red, Yellow, Or Green Curry Paste
2 Tablespoons Fish Sauce Or Soy Sauce
1/4 cups Sugar
1 piece Lime Wedges
1/2 teaspoons Red Chili Flakes
2 whole Tomatoes, Cut In Wedges
1/4 cups Fresh Basil, Chopped

1
In a large sauce pan, cook the chicken in a little bit of oil until done, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Add the remaining ingredients except for the tomatoes and basil. Bring to a boil and then let simmer for 10 minutes.
2
Add the tomatoes and basil and cook until warmed through. Taste and adjust seasoning. I like mine a bit sweeter, so I add about 1/4 cup more of sugar. If it needs more salt, add a little more fish sauce. This is a strong ingredient so be gentle with it. If you like it a bit more spicy, add a little more red chili flakes.
3
This is a real different soup, but dang it, it is good!
