How to Make It
In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, coriander, ginger, black pepper, and cayenne; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
Add the broth, coconut milk, fish sauce, salt, and lime zest. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the fettuccine until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain.
Add the chicken to the soup and simmer until just done, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the fettuccine, lime juice, and cilantro, if using. Serve the soup in bowls with a fork and spoon.
Notes
Asian fish sauce is available at Asian markets and some supermarkets.

Review Body: This soup was fast, easy, and amazingly flavorful. I confess that I subbed salmon for the chicken and rice noodles for the fettuccine, but it is the coconut milk and spices that make this soup shine. Shrimp, cauliflower, zucchini, mushrooms would all work with this recipe. Who ever crafted this one, thank you for a great recipe.
