Perfect Thai Chicken Soup Stock image

I love a really good Thai soup and after many years experimenting I've finally landed on a Thai Chicken Soup Stock that I absolutely love. It's delicious with just the broth or add sliced chicken (or duck) breasts and some wide rice noodles to make it a full meal.
