Step 1
Peel and slice the 1-inch ginger into thin coins. Cut the 1 lb chicken thighs into bite-size pieces. Peel the 1 medium green papaya, remove seeds, and slice into 1/2-inch wedges.
Step 2
In a pot over medium heat, add the ginger and 1 tbsp fish sauce. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces and cook until they turn white on all sides, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in the 4 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the papaya wedges, reduce heat to low, and simmer until papaya is tender and chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Slice the 3 green onions and stir into the soup. Serve hot.
