Chicken Soup for the Chef's Soul

When I was young I was not fortunate enough to have a kitchen that I learned my trade in.  My mother baked, but dared not cook.  From a young age, like many of my fellow delinquents I learned the gluttonous pleasures of tubes of cookie dough, whip cream cans, and sang songs to the glory of Baskin Robins and the holy thirty one flavors.  I practiced the zen of the golden arches and, for a brief period of time, thought Chipotle was an accurate representation of Mexican street food.  I knew not of the home cooked gastronomic delights that some of my friends enjoyed. While I was blessed with parents who knew how to select great restaurants, I knew well only the end product, not the methods which created it.  This fundamental lack in my basic skills was a blessing and a curse when the siren song of the college lifestyle fell upon my ears.  When one only knows how to eat out, living on a tight budget means cheap, greasy, and microwaveable are your only options for a student on the go.  The resulting quality of food, while enough to survive, is not enough to meet the deeper nutritional needs of the average human being.  The concept of fresh is sacrificed and forgotten for simple ease of access, further cutting us off from the most important source of energy for our bodies, fresh food.  When, with the help of a roommate, I was able to rediscover the importance of fresh food, the feeling was akin to awakening from a thirty year comma.  My mind and body were ravaged by the forces of grease, salt, quantity, and ease of access.  With one fresh garden vegetable after another I began to reverse the unholy damage done to my body, the fog in my mind lifted, and I was born anew into a world of farmers stands, local co-ops, and garden raised produce.  Awash with fresh ingredients I began to learn the skills my families forefathers had forgotten long ago.  In doing so I sought out recipes for my new bountiful harvest so that I might utilize every tasty morsel.  This quest led me to, perhaps, one of the most important revelations of my life and culinary career.  My college career focused on history and nutritional anthropology, and as I gathered recipes, I began to see the underlying similarities between the different styles and regions of the world.  I was awakening into the understanding of method and technique.  The theories of sweat, sautée, boil, roast, sear, season, and poach; the most basic methods of cookery going back to the beginning of civilization.  Like a zen master meditating on enlightenment and happiness through thought, I began to rethink my culinary landscape and while cooking chicken stock one day, I became enlightened.  I offer to you the recipe which changed my life.  While simple, the flavor is profound and deep with a lingering richness on the palette.  Perfect to poach any matter of vegetable, seafood or meat, this stock/soup base is a go-to weather in the professional kitchen or just utilizing leftovers at home.  Combine the first six ingredients in the saucier and simmer over low heat (barely a bubble) for 1.5 hours.  Strain and set aside as stock, or combine the finishing ingredients for an incredible soup base.  *I recommend adding tofu and seaweed* Fusion Chicken Stock: 1 leftover roasted chicken (bones with a bit o meat) 2 knobs fresh ginger 1 knob galangal root 1 burnt onion (half 1 onion and place cut side down in a dry hot skillet until completely black) 2 tablespoons brown sugar Water to cover 4 quart saucier To finish: 1 cup coconut milk 2 tablespoons good soy
