This fragrant Vietnamese-inspired soup gets its depth of flavor from homemade chicken stock, sesame oil, lemongrass, garlic and fresh ginger.  Those flavorings in combination with diced chicken, Swiss chard stems and leaves, and final touches of mirin and rice vinegar really make for a healthy and detoxifying soup.  I decided last minute to add even more green to the soup’s base with some crispy sugar snap peas.
