- Soup Base
- 1 ½ Kg Chicken Carcass and Legs, blanched
- 12 Cups Water

Method
Make the soup base; combine the chicken bones and legs, onion, ginger, daikon, star anise, cloves, Cassia bark, and peppercorns, in a large stockpot. Bring the stock to a boil, lower the heat, skimming frequently, and simmer for about 1 ½ hour.
Strain the stock into another pot and mix in the fish sauce, rock sugar, and the blanched chicken breast. Bring it back to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for another 20 minutes. Remove the chicken breast, and let cool before shredding the meat. Continue to simmer the soup for another 20 minutes, and then season the soup with sea salt.
To serve; divide the cooked rice noodles among 6 bowls. Top each with the broth, chicken meat, herbs, bean sprouts, onion, chilies, lime wedges, and some fish sauce, if desired.
