Step 1
In a large pot, combine 2 cups chicken broth and 2 cups coconut milk. Add 4 kaffir lime leaves and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, about 5 minutes, until fragrant.
Step 2
Add 4 chicken drumsticks and 3 sliced shallots. Simmer gently, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender (no pink near the bone).
Step 3
Peel and halve 2 hard-boiled eggs. Place one egg half in each bowl, then ladle the hot soup over. Garnish with crispy fried shallots and sliced red chili if you like.
