LEMONGRASS CHICKEN SOUP

Lemongrass
is widely used as a herb in Asian Cooking.

In Indonesia
lemongrass is extracted to make mosquito repellant.

How many of us are aware that 
Lemongrass is also a Traditional treatment of coughs and cold?

I only know that Lemongrass can expel wind 
& 
it is good to the new mother 

This is usually boiled in soups.

Smashed shallots are sometimes added 
to enhance the effect 
and also for added flavour 



Lemongrass Chicken Soup
1 chicken thigh, cut into bite size (or chicken bones and feet)
3 lemongrass, smashed
4 shallots, smashed

1) all ingredients into the pot
2) add enough water to cover the ingredients
3) simmer until cooked, 2-3 hours
4) serve hot

Note:
Chicken bones and feet are usually used for cooking this soup.
Whereas the meaty parts are used to cook the main course for the new mother
