Even if I have, I can&#8217;t find it and so it might be lost in my in-between blog archives.&nbsp; And this is such a great soup- comforting and smooth with just a little heat and lots of vegetables.I&#8217;m going to repost it because I think you should HAVE this recipe!<\/p>\n<p>You can start off by making your own stock with a whole chicken, 3 slices of fresh ginger root, 1 stem of lemon grass, 2 large ribs of celery, 2 large carrots and a large onion- sautee the chicken in 2 TBS of olive oil, add veggies and 6 cups of water, salt and pepper to taste.&nbsp; Cook down until chicken is done, and veggies are soft.&nbsp; Then discard the veggies and tear the meat off of the bones.&nbsp; Put broth in the refrigerator and cool.&nbsp; When the fat congeals at the top of the pan, throw it away ( the fat, not the stock ) and add a couple of chicken bullion cubes for a richer flavor.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Now you need to dice or chop up some more vegetables.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/heidiannie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/Pumpkin-roll-and-sourdough-002.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right: 0px;

Chop, slice and dice up the same vegetables you discarded and in the same amounts.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/heidiannie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/Pumpkin-roll-and-sourdough-003.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right: 0px;

As you can see, I totally cheated and used a Thai Coconut Curry culinary broth.&nbsp; This works well too and you can forget about making your own stock.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, at this point you need to cutup 2 chicken breasts (if cooked- don&#8217;t add them until your vegetables are sauteed.)&nbsp; if raw, sautee them in 3TBS of olive oil and season with about 1 1\/2 tsps of curry powder.&nbsp; Add vegetables and sautee all together for about 15 minutes.&nbsp; Add broth and simmer another 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Chop up a small can of bamboo shoots, and partially cook some medium sized noodles to add to your soup.<a href=\"http:\/\/heidiannie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/Pumpkin-roll-and-sourdough-006.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right: 0px;

<\/p>\n<p>You can add the juice of 1\/2 lemon if you like it a little more sour.&nbsp; Salt and pepper to taste and serve with a good crusty bread and a green salad.<\/p>\n<p>I really cannot tell you how very good this soup is &#8211;
