Thai Chicken Broth

Last week I was playing around with a recipe given to me by a family member who cooks Thai meals at least once a week.  I have adapted it for Paleo Reboot and it was delicious!  The recipe below makes 6 servings which freeze well. Note the ingredients are very much 'my eye' based and the quantities should be according to taste.  The next time I make this I will amend this blog post to the exact quantities used. I would play a bit more with the chilli flavours and add to taste!
