THAI STYLE CHICKEN SOUP
Steps:
- Heat chicken stock and 1 fish sauce in a 4-6 qt pot over med hi heat. Remove outer leaves from lemongrass. Cut root ends off, leaving enough to hold the leaves together, then cut stalks into 6" pieces. Cut stalks into halves lengthwise. Add to the stock. Peel ginger and cut it into 1/8-inch planks; add to stock. Smash and peel the garlic, keep the cloves intact; add them to the stock. Remove stem ends from the chiles, then cut the chiles in 1/2 lengthwise, use spoon to scrape out the seeds. Add the chiles to the stock. Increase heat to high/simmer stock. If they are boneless and skinless, trim any excess fat. Set breasts aside while stock simmers. Peel carrots, cut stem. julienne away the outer layers of the carrots so you have skinnier carrots of fairly even diameter from top to bottom. Set the julienned carrot aside for garnishing the finished soup. Cut the now skinny carrots into 1/2- to 3/4-inch rounds. Place rounds into a prep bowl. Wash the baby potatoes. Cut into 1/4s or 1/2s depending on their size. If cutting in halves, cut lengthwise. [ Add the potatoes to the cut carrots. Add 1/4 cup peanuts. When stock is finished, taste for salt. It should be just a bit on the salty side so it can season the chicken and the veggies; it will seem less salty once the soup is finished. Adjust with either more fish sauce or salt. Add chicken, reduce heat to gentle simmer. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cut the scallions into thin, bias-cut slices, including all but the last few inches of the greens. remove cooked chicken. Strain the aromatics from the stock. Return stock to pot if needed, and stir in curry powder. Increase heat to med hi, simmer. Add carrots, potatoes, and peanuts; simmer tip tender, 10 min. Cool chicken 5 min, shred. Discard bones and gristle. Once carrots/potatoes tender, stir in coconut milk, shredded chicken, about 3/4 of scallions, and udon noodles.Cook 2 min. top w/ carrot/nuts/scallions
