Thai-Style Soup With Pork

• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 3 stalks lemon grass , tough outer leaves removed, bottom 5 inches halved lengthwise and sliced thin crosswise
• 3 large shallots , chopped
• 8 sprigs fresh cilantro leaves , chopped coarse
• 3 tablespoons fish sauce
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 (14-ounce) cans coconut milk , well-shaken
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 pound white mushrooms , cleaned, stems trimmed, cut into 1/4-inch slices
• 1 pound pork tenderloin , halved lengthwise and sliced into 1/8-inch thick pieces
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice from 2 to 3 limes
• 2 teaspoons red curry paste (Thai)
• Garnish
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 serrano chiles , sliced thin
• 2 scallions , sliced thin on bias

1. 1. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat until just shimmering. Add lemon grass, shallots, cilantro, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce; cook, stirring frequently, until just softened, 2 to 5 minutes (vegetables should not brown). Stir in chicken broth and 1 can coconut milk; bring to simmer over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until flavors have blended, 10 minutes. Pour broth through fine-mesh strainer and discard solids in strainer. Rinse saucepan and return broth mixture to pan.
2. 2. Return pan to medium-high heat. Stir remaining can coconut milk and sugar into broth mixture and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium, add mushrooms, and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add pork and cook, stirring constantly, until no longer pink, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove soup from heat.
3. 3. Combine lime juice, curry paste, and remaining 2 tablespoons fish sauce in small bowl; stir into soup. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with cilantro, chiles, and scallions. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
