Directions
ASIAN CHICKEN STOCK
FOR SOUP
Simmer the chicken in a large nonaluminum stock pot along with the rest of the stock ingredients until the chicken falls off the bone, about 3 hours. Lift the chicken from the broth. Strain the broth, discarding solids and refrigerate until you want to make soup.
Discard skin and bones from chicken and tear the meat into bite-sized pieces.
Pour 2 quarts of the strained broth into a soup pot and bring it to a boil. Add star anise, cloves, galanga, ginger, cinnamon stick, cumin, salt and pepper. Simmer for about 30 minutes, then add the chicken meat, onions, tomato and lemon juice and zest. Simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk.
Add cilantro leaves and serve piping hot.
