Instructions

Cut the chicken into pieces and rinse them quickly under cold water.
Put the chicken in a large pot with 2 litres of cold water and bring gently to a boil.
Skim the surface for 5 minutes to remove impurities.
Add the onions cut into quarters, the sliced ginger, the crushed lemongrass and the whole garlic.
Let simmer over very low heat for 50 minutes, keeping the broth just trembling.
Season with salt and pepper, remove the chicken pieces and aromatics, then serve the broth very hot, with noodles cooked separately if you like.
