Now, the *best* way I ever had this soup was with pieces of fresh grouper
instead of chicken. I also added slices of kumquats instead of the ginger,
and used the sweet Fresno chiles instead of Thai birds. We also served it
over Vietnamese rice noodles. Was it southeast Asian or Caribbean? Who
cares, it was wonderful. If you can't find grouper, it'd be good with any
tender, delicate white fish -- sole, maybe, or a very fresh sea bass, or
maybe little chunks of monkfish. I believe I've had this with shrimp as
well. (Grouper, BTW, is a type of fish common in the Caribbean and, if I
recall, in other warm-water parts of the world; the flesh is very white,
very tender, and quite delicately flavored. I've seen it in one Asian
grocery store in the Bay Area, as well as in the Bahamas, so I'd guess that
Gulf Coast netters should be able to find it readily.)
