Combine chicken broth, coconut milk and galangal in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir for 1 minute. Add chicken meat and stir for 1 minute. Add mushrooms, lemon juice, sugar, fish sauce and chile paste and stir for 1 minute. Pour into individual soup bowls and top each with cilantro leaves. For a hotter experience, top with sliced serranos. Yum!
