1. Prep the ingredients. In a stockpot, combine the chicken broth, ginger, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, lime juice, and fish sauce and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Gently simmer for 5 minutes, then stir in the shrimp, coconut milk, mushrooms, cilantro, and jalapeño.
2. Bring the soup back to a simmer (but don't boil) and cook long enough for the shrimp to cook through, 4-6 minutes.
