    In a large pot, combine beef bones and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Skim off any foam that rises to the top.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    After an hour, add shallots, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, bay leaves, turmeric powder, salt, and pepper to the broth. Continue to simmer for another 30 minutes.

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the pot and cook for an additional 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken, shred it, and set aside.

    Final Seasoning

    Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary. Strain the broth to remove solids.
