2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1 lime, divided use

1 medium onion, sliced

2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste

1 ½ tablespoons fresh ginger, minced

4 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups chicken broth

14 ounces coconut milk, do not use light or low fat

Directions:

Zest 1 teaspoon of lime zest and set aside.

Juice half of the lime (1 tablespoon of juice) and reserve the rest for serving.

Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Add sliced onion to the pan and cook until it begins to soften, about 4 minutes.

Add curry paste, ginger, and garlic and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Stir in chicken broth, coconut milk, and fish sauce, scraping up any brown bits.

Add mushrooms and lime zest, simmer 15 minutes.
