Lemon Grass Chicken Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Combine chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, lime juice, lime zest, peppercorns, soy sauce, ginger, fish sauce, and chile pepper in a large pot.
• Remove tough outer stalks from lemongrass. Halve inner stalks and cut into 3-inch peaches. Place in a resealable plastic bag and pound with a hammer until bruised.
• Fill bag with water and pour into the pot. Bring soup to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until flavors combine, about 20 minutes. Strain with a small mesh strainer, discarding solids. Pour strained liquid back into the pot.
• Stir chicken, green onions, carrot, cabbage, mung bean sprouts, Chinese mushrooms, cilantro, Thai basil, and mint into the soup. Simmer over medium heat until carrot is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Spoon 1 teaspoon garlic chile paste into the bottom of each serving bowl and ladle soup on top.

Steps:

• Place chicken, lemongrass, scallions, onion, sliced ginger, chile, peppercorns, and water in a large pot. Cover, and bring to a simmer. Uncover partially, and gently simmer for 1 hour.
• Add cilantro and mint stems, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add fish sauce, and strain through a cheesecloth-lined sieve. Reserve broth and chicken. Discard remaining solids. Shred chicken meat, and discard bones. Refrigerate broth and chicken separately for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
• Skim fat from broth, and reheat broth. Combine chicken, julienned ginger, cilantro leaves, thinly sliced mint, and bean sprouts in a bowl. Divide broth among bowls, and serve with chicken mixture on the side.

Steps:

• Boil the chicken stock in a large pot with the Tom-Yum Paste.
• Add in the uncooked chicken and keep at a low boil till the chicken is cooked half through.
• Bruise the lime leaves by rubbing them in your hand a bit to bruise them so they give off more flavor and aroma.
• Bruise the lemongrass by hitting it with the flat side of a knife, as you would with garlic.
• Throw the lime leaves and lemon grass into pot along with the fish sauce,lime juice, and chili flakes.
• Cook on med-low for an hour- 45 min or as long as it takes the chicken to completly cook.
• You can cook the chicken till its very tender and almost falls off the bone if you like --
• Once ready serve hot, in a bowl with another bowl of rice.
• *** ALL ingredients (lime juice, fish sauce, etc) can be increased or decreased to your liking -- I prefer this soup to be really sour, lemon/lime tasting and a bit spicy, while others may like more salty (add more fish sauce then) and sour flavor.

Steps:

• In an 1 to 10-quart pan, bring broth to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, pull off and discard course outer layers from lemon grass and trim off and discard stem ends. Cut each stalk into about 3-inch lengths. With the flat side of a knife, lightly crush lemon grass and ginger. Cut one or two chilies in half lengthwise (use two if you'd like it spicy); stem remaining chilies (seed, if desired, for less heat), finely chop and reserve. Add lemon grass, ginger, and halved chilies to boiling broth. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rinse cabbage and cut into shreds about 1/4 inch wide and 2 to 3 inches long. Rinse mushrooms, trim off and discard stem ends and discolored parts, and slice lengthwise 1/4 inch thick. Peel carrots and slice 1/4 inch thick. Rinse chicken and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices 1 1/2 to 2 inches long.
• With a slotted spoon, remove and discard lemon grass, ginger and chilies from broth.
• Add cabbage, mushrooms, carrots, and garlic to broth; cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until carrots are tender when pierced, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add chicken and tomatoes with their juice. Cover and cook over high heat until chicken is no longer pink in the center (cut to test). This will take about 3 to 5 minutes. Add lemon juice and fish sauce to taste. Sprinkle with green onions.
• Place rice, lemon wedges, cilantro and chopped chilies in separate bowls and offer with soup to add to taste.

Steps:

• Bring chicken stock to a boil in a large pot. Stir curry sauce into the boiling stock.
• Reduce heat to medium and add chicken, mushrooms, lemongrass, and garlic to the stock; bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir coconut cream into stock; stir. Remove and discard lemongrass.
• Place noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside until noodles are softened, about 15 minutes. Drain and rinse thoroughly.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook rice noodles in the water until softened, about 8 minutes; drain. Divide noodles between 6 soup bowls. Ladle soup over noodles.

Steps:

• Wash and dry the chicken and trim off any fat. Cut the chicken breast across the grain on the diagonal into 1/8-inch strips.
• Cut these strips into 2-inch pieces.
• Combine the chicken, honey, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce in a bowl and stir to mix.
• Let marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Trim the green leaves and root end off the lemongrass stalk and strip off the outside leaves.
• What remains will be a greenish crea m-colored core 4 to 5 inches long and 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
• Mince the core finely: You'll need about 2 tablespoons.
• Just before serving, heat a wok (preferably nonstick) over high heat and swirl in the oil.
• Add the garlic and lemongrass and stir-fry until fragrant but not brown, about 15 seconds.
• Add the chicken and stir-fry until the pieces turn white, about 1 minute. Move the chicken to the sides of the wok and add the o nion to the center.
• Stir-fry until the onion loses its rawness, about 1 minute. Mix the chicken back in the center of the wok, add the remaining fish sauce, continue stir-frying until the chicken is cooked, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Correct the seasoning, adding honey or fish sauce to taste. The dish should be a little sweet and salty.
• Sprinkle the chicken with the cilantro, if desired, and serve at once.

Steps:

• Prep all ingredients. This comes together quickly so it is nice to be fully prepped.
• Heat oil in medium sized pot over medium-high heat.
• Add garlic, ginger, chili paste, and lemon grass. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes to bring out flavor. (It'll smell really yummy at this point!).
• Add mushrooms and chicken and stir to coat for about 2 minutes. Don't brown them, you just want to let them soak in some of the flavor.
• Add the chicken stock and water and bring to a boil.
• Add the noodles and cook for 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
• Stir in cilantro, oyster Sauce, lime juice, green onions, and red pepper.
• Let stand for a few minutes then discard lemon grass.

• Pour chicken stock into a large pot; add minced lemongrass, bruised lemongrass stalk, 1/2 the ginger, lime leaves, garlic, and Sriracha sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer. Add chicken to simmering broth; cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. Remove lemongrass stalk and lime leaves using a slotted spoon; discard.
• Place cilantro bundle in the broth and simmer for 2 minutes. Add coconut milk, remaining ginger, brown sugar, lime juice, and fish sauce. Remove cilantro bundle using a slotted spoon; discard. Simmer broth, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Fill a large pot with water and bring to a rolling boil. Add ramen and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Drain and portion noodles into serving bowls.

• Stir green onions, chicken broth, sugar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper into the wok. Simmer, uncovered, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
