Generic Southeast Asian Broth 

6 cups chicken broth, homemade or canned - reduced salt if I can get it. 
Slice of onion 
Couple of cloves of crushed garlic 
Stems from a bunch of cilantro (not the leaves) OR 1 tsp of coriander seeds 
Lemongrass OR several pieces of lemon or lime peel 
1 tsp of whole black peppercorns 
About 1 inch of fresh ginger root, sliced 

Simmer all this together for about 15 minutes, strain the broth and throw away the seasonings. 
This is now ready for use in many variations on soup. 

Here are a couple I make. (See:  Chicken Coconut Soup, Hot and Sour Soup and Pho)
