Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
- 3 stalks lemongrass*
- 1/2 cup yellow onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 2 ears corn kernels removed
- 2 red mini sweet peppers chopped, or ½ a red bell pepper

- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1/2 teaspoons yellow curry powder
- 1 quart low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions
- Chop the ends off of the lemongrass, and peel the outer layers. Smash the stalks and using only the bottom 1/3 of the stalk, cut strips.
- Add oil to a large saucepan or stock pot and add the lemongrass, onion, garlic, ginger, corn, and peppers. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

- Add the fish sauce, curry powder, chicken stock, lime juice, and coconut milk. Cover the pot and bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 25 to 40 minutes.
- When ready to serve, remove the harder pieces of lemongrass.
- Serve with chopped cilantro
