Ingredienser
  

  • 1.5 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 onion, halved
  • 4 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 cup Thai basil leaves
  • 1 small red chili, thinly sliced

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Place the chicken thighs, water, onion, garlic, and ginger in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes until the chicken is tender.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool. Strain the broth and return it to the pot, discarding the solids.
  • Shred the chicken meat and discard the bones and skin. Add the shredded chicken back to the broth.
  • Stir in the mushrooms and green beans. Simmer for 8 minutes until the vegetables are tender but the green beans still have some bite.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the fish sauce and lime juice.
  • Add the Thai basil leaves and sliced chili just before serving.

Add the Thai basil right at the end so it stays bright and fragrant instead of turning dull. If the broth tastes too light after simmering, reduce it for a few extra minutes before adding the vegetables. Leftovers reheat well on the stove with a splash of water to loosen the broth.
