In a large pot add coconut milk, water, lime leaves, chopped lemon grass, galangal and salt, bring to a boil then add chicken, bouillon, sugar, lime juice, onion, cabbage and chili peppers (1 chili pepper I sliced down the middle and the other I left whole), simmer on medium heat for approximately 20 minutes.
While soup is simmering cook 1 1/2 cups dried rice. Serve soup with or without rice. Enjoy!
