Recipe

Ingredients

•1 white onion
•2 stalks fresh lemongrass
•1 cup shiitake mushrooms
•1 inch fresh ginger
•1 lime
•1 whole chicken
•3 quarts filtered water
•2 bay leaves
•1 teaspoon dried thyme
•1 can coconut milk
•2 tablespoons fish sauce
•1 teaspoon honey
•2 cups spinach
•1 bunch cilantro, to garnish

Instructions

1.Chop your onion, lemongrass, and mushrooms. Peel and chop the ginger, and zest and juice your lime.
2.Place your rinsed whole chicken into a giant pot and submerge it in 3 quarts of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then add the onion, bay leaves, and dried thyme. Cook uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes until the chicken is tender.
3.During the final 10 minutes of boiling the chicken, throw in your chopped lemongrass, ginger, lime zest, and lime juice.
4.Fish the chicken out to cool. Strain your broth through a sieve into a second pot and discard all the spent solids. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, strip the meat from the bones and rough-chop it.
5.Bring your pure stock back to a boil, drop in the chicken meat and fresh mushrooms, and simmer for 20 minutes.
6.Stir in the coconut milk, fish sauce, honey, and fresh spinach. Simmer for just 3 minutes until the spinach wilts, garnish with plenty of fresh cilantro, and serve up your ultimate comfort soup!
