Zombie Chicken Soup
Return yesterday’s cryogenically stored chicken broth to life. Though Julia Child recommends brewing only plain chicken broth, so that the chicken can speak for itself, a zombie needs its spices. We will employ a combination of ginger, garlic, and fresh chiles to wake up the bird. A touch of lemongrass will help soothe its bubbling ascent from the grave.
The purpose of this recipe is to preserve deliciousness and maximize efficiency. What’s the point in buying fancy ingredients for one recipe if the extras end up rotting away in the fridge after first use. It’s much more practical and equally tasty to kill two meals with one bird.

Reanimating the Dead Chicken
4. Add whole chicken pieces to pot, lightly brown by exposing to bottom of pot; add Cack-Ik broth and 2-3 cups water (enough to give chicken some room to bobble).
Simmering the Soup
5. Simmer soup for 30-40 min or until chicken is fully cooked; remove chicken from pot and slice into bite sized pieces; return chopped chicken to soup, reheat and serve with garlic plantains.
