grass, kaffir lime leaves, ginger, chilies, and garlic. Lower the heat to medium low,
cover, and gently simmer for 10 minutes to let the spices infuse the broth.
Uncover and stir in the coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar, mushrooms, lime juice,
and chicken. Simmer for 5 minutes to heat the chicken through; season with salt
and pepper. Ladle the soup into a soup tureen or individual serving bowls.
Garnish with cilantro. Be careful to avoid chewing the lemongrass, ginger, or
lime leaves.
Chicken Stock:
1 whole free-range chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), rinsed, giblets discarded
2 carrots, cut in large chunks
3 celery stalks, cut in large chunks
2 large white onions, quartered
1 head of garlic, halved
1 turnip, halved
1/4 bunch fresh thyme leaves
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
Place the chicken and vegetables in a large stockpot over medium heat. Pour in
only enough cold water to cover (about 3 quarts); too much will make the broth
taste weak. Toss in the thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns, and allow it to
slowly come to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and gently simmer for 1 to
1 1/2 hours, partially covered, until the chicken is done. As it cooks, skim any
impurities that rise to the surface; add a little more water if necessary to keep
the chicken covered while simmering.
Carefully remove the chicken to a cutting board. When its cool enough to
handle, discard the skin and bones; hand-shred the meat into a storage
container.
Carefully strain the stock through a fine sieve into another pot to remove the
vegetable solids. Use the stock immediately or if you plan on storing it, place the
pot in a sink full of ice water and stir to cool down the stock. Cover and
refrigerate for up to one week or freeze.
