Steps //

1. 01 Blanch the chicken briefly in boiling water and rinse it clean. Why Blanching is what keeps the broth from going cloudy.
2. 02 Put the chicken and all the broth ingredients in a pot, bring to a boil, then simmer 20 minutes on medium-low.
3. 03 Strain the broth. Let the chicken cool, pull the meat off the bones and shred it.
4. 04 Add the potato and the bones back to the strained broth and simmer 20 minutes more on medium-low. Why Returning the bones is what makes the broth rich.
5. 05 Fish out the bones and return the shredded chicken.
6. 06 Season with salt and pepper and top with green onion. Why If the broth reduced too far, top it up gradually rather than all at once.
