Stir in chicken stock, lime leaves, lemon grass and ginger.
Simmer for 10 minute.

Tip 1 - if you cannot find kaffir lime leaves, it can be made with lime peel for ok result.
Tip 2 - remove outer layers of the straw like leaves from the lemon grass and cut off the top, use only the part that looks like the white part of a green onion.
Tip 3 - if you do not like to eat the ginger and lemongrass, cut these into larger pieces that can easily be removed before serving.
