Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 leftover roast chicken carcass

  • 8 cups cold water

  • 1/2 large onion, cut in large pieces

  • 2 stalks celery, cut in large pieces

  • parsley stems (optional)

  • 1 chicken bouillon cube or 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon paste

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

  • 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger

  • 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated, divided

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided

  • 8 ounces sliced baby portobello mushrooms

  • 1/2 cup matchstick-cut or grated carrots

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 can unsweetened coconut milk

  • 1 lime, juiced

  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha plus more to taste (optional)

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked rice

Directions

  1. Place chicken in a large stock pot and add cold water, onions, celery, and parsley stems. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 1 hour. Strain and reserve liquid. Separate any remaining chicken meat from the carcass and reserve. Discard remaining ingredients in the strainer. Stir bouillon into hot broth until dissolved.

  2. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add white and light green parts of onion, along with the ginger, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir. Add mushrooms and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add carrots and remaining salt and cook 3 minutes, stirring often. Add pepper, garlic powder and 6 cups of reserved broth. Stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add in coconut milk and reserved chicken pieces and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes. Add remaining green onions, lime juice, and Sriracha. Serve topped with 1/4 cup of rice per serving.
