    1. Pour the coconut milk and chicken stock into a saucepan, place over a medium-high heat and bring to a simmer.

    2. Tip the shallots, lemongrass, coriander roots, galangal and chilies into a pestle and mortar and bash a few times to bruise the ingredients. Add these to the pan, along with the lime leaves, and bring back to a simmer.

    3. Stir in half the palm sugar and taste. Continue adding the rest of the palm sugar until the soup tastes slightly sweet.

    4. Tip in the chicken, chanterelles and corn and simmer for 5 minutes or until the chicken is opaque and cooked through.

    5. Add some of the fish sauce and lime juice and taste again. Add more palm sugar, fish sauce and lime juice until you have an even balance of sweet, salty and sour.

    6. Ladle the soup into warm serving bowls and scatter over the fresh coriander leaves.
