Chicken Coconut Soup 

Southeast Asian broth  (See recipe)
1 can unsweetened coconut milk 
1/4 cup fish sauce (nam pla) - there's really no substitute for this. 
   Soy sauce doesn't taste the same 
1/4 cup lemon juice 
1/4 cup sugar - raw is nice, white or light brown is fine 
2 Tbsp Oriental chili tamarind paste or 1 Tbsp. chili garlic paste 
   or just tabasco sauce to taste 
1 can straw mushrooms (or some other cooked or canned mushrooms) 
1 can baby corn, cut into pieces 
1 package bean thread noodles, pre-soaked in boiling water and drained 
Sliced or julienned chicken 

Simmer all this together for a few minutes. Serve in big bowls. 
Garnish with sprigs of cilantro.
