Thai Spiced Chicken Coconut Soup

This is more than a soup; it is a layers-of-flavor; rich but bright at the same time, kind of meal.  It tastes like you simmered it on a hot stove for hours. The result is tender chicken in a spiced coconut broth that has a bit of heat, balanced with the finished touch of fish sauce and bright lime juice.
