How to set MS Kestrel Web Server to handle requests async and handle multiple requests without blocking

I am testing an ASP.NET Core Web Application using MVC and WebApi and Kestrel Web Server.

   var host = new WebHostBuilder()
      .UseKestrel(opt => opt.ThreadCount = 10)
      .UseConfiguration(config)
      .UseContentRoot(path)
      .UseStartup<Startup>()
      .Build();

For some reason when the server is processing a request it will not accept in any new requests. From what I have read this should not be the case but I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.

Here is my WebApi controller code:

[HttpPost]
[Route("/api/test/{moduleid}")]
public Task<object> Api(string moduleId, [FromBody] JObject data)
{
    return Task.Run( () =>
    {
        return domain.Handle(moduleId, data);
    });
}

The code is not Async so I am wrapping in a Task.Run call. Everything works but the server blocks new requests until the current request finishes.

Kestrel is async by design. I was using a client that limited to one request at a time (Postman). Once I used multiple clients I saw all was well.
