Time 1h5m

Yield Makes 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 stalks lemongrass
1 pound skinless organic chicken thighs
Coarse salt and ground black pepper
1 small carrot, peeled and diced
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 ounce fresh ginger, peeled and minced (3 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 ounces soba noodles
2 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1-inch lengths
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, caps thinly sliced
1 cup thinly sliced bok choy or other Asian greens
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or basil

Steps:

  • Remove any tough ends or hard outer husks of lemongrass, cut into 2-inch pieces, and smash with the side of a knife. Tie lemongrass in a loose bundle with cheesecloth.
  • Rinse chicken and place in a medium soup pot. Add 6 cups cold water to cover chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and skim the surface thoroughly of any impurities that rise.
  • Lower the heat and add carrot, onion, garlic, ginger, and the lemongrass bundle. Adjust heat so water barely bubbles. Cover and poach chicken for 25 minutes. Lift chicken out of the pot and transfer to a plate. When it's cool enough to handle, pull meat off the bones and shred the meat into large pieces. Set aside.
  • Add soy sauce to broth and return to a boil. Add noodles, scallions, shiitakes, and bok choy; cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until noodles are tender. Add chicken and heat through. Discard lemongrass bundle. Stir in the cilantro or basil before serving.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding some coconut milk.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the soup itself was very flavorful. I think I'll try using a different cut of chicken next time.

I'm not usually a fan of soba noodles, but I really enjoyed them in this soup. They were cooked just right and had a great texture. The vegetables were also cooked perfectly and still had a bit of a crunch.

This soup was incredible! The flavors were so fresh and vibrant, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I especially loved the lemongrass and ginger, which really shone through. I will definitely be making this again!
