Combine a little coconut milk with the water in a pot and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, add the galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and smashed shallots. Add salt and the bouillon cube, stirring to dissolve. Let simmer for about 15 seconds.

Over medium heat, wait for the soup to boil again. Add the sliced chicken, making sure it’s submerged. Skim off any foam that forms.

When the soup boils again, add the remaining coconut milk. Lower the heat to medium-low and avoid letting the coconut milk separate.
