Heat a large soup pot, add the oil. Add the onions,
lemongrass, and all the peppers and chiles and saute
until soft, stirring frequently.

Add the ginger, garlic and mushrooms, reduce the heat
and continue to saute for 10 minutes.

Turn the heat to very low and stir in the coconut
milk, stock and chicken. Heat very slowly, but do not
allow the soup to boil! Simmer until the chicken is
just tender.

Add the remaining ingredients, garnish with a couple
of Thai Chiles, if desired, and serve.
