CHICKEN AND BOK CHOY SOUP

I bought bok choy with no idea how to use it. Threw it in a simple chicken and veggie soup, and the family loved it! 4 cans low-sodium chicken broth can be substituted for the 6 cups water and chicken base.

CHICKEN AND BOK CHOY SOUP



Chicken and Bok Choy Soup image

I make this with Shanghai Bok Choy, a smaller Bok Choy than the regular one with light green ribs rather than the white ribs. If you have Bok Choy in a Chinese restaurant, they tend to slice it lengthways and cook the whole thing at once. I decided to cook the ribs and leaves separately and accidentally came up with this recipe because I was distracted after adding the ribs. I found that by overcooking the ribs slightly, they take on an almost buttery flavour, a nice contrast to the freshness of the leaves. I make this with Easy Prep Vegetable Stock (Recipe #247153). One serving of this soup contains quite a lot of protein and is suitable for South Beach or Sure Slim weight loss programmes.

Time 27m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 onion
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon oil
400 g chicken breasts
4 cups vegetable stock
salt
pepper
1 tablespoon soy sauce
450 g bok choy

Steps:

  • Chop the onion and garlic in the food processor.
  • Fry the onion and garlic in the oil.
  • Chop the chicken breast into cubes and then add to the food processor and pulse to get ground/minced chicken. Alternatively, you can buy chicken mince and chop the onion finely. I like to know what has gone into my chicken mince!
  • Add to the onion and stir to brown the chicken.
  • Add the vegetable stock (you could use chicken stock if you have it), a good pinch of salt, grind of pepper and the soy sauce.
  • Twist the leaves off the Bok Choy (I find that easier and quicker than chopping them).
  • Rinse any dirt off the ribs and chop coarsely. Add to the soup.
  • Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Roughly chop the leaves and add to the soup.
  • Simmer for another 2 minutes.
  • Serve.

HANOI NOODLE SOUP WITH CHICKEN, BABY TATSOI, AND BOK CHOY



HANOI NOODLE SOUP WITH CHICKEN, BABY TATSOI, AND BOK CHOY image

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cups fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cups fresh mint leaves
2 pieces 2 whole chicken breasts, bone in
1 pound 1 lb. bok choy, chopped (Tatsoi)
1/4 pound 1⁄4 lb. 1⁄2"-wide bahn pho (Vietnamese rice noodles)
3 tablespoon 3 tbsp. finely chopped scallions
4 ounce 4 oz. baby tatsoi
1 l Tuong Ot Toi (Vietnamese hot sauce)

Steps:

  • In a medium stockpot, bring chicken stock to a simmer over medium heat. Add ginger, garlic, 1⁄4 cup each of the cilantro and mint leaves, and chicken. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove chicken and allow to cool. Tear each breast into about 6 pieces, discard bones. Strain broth and return to pot over low heat. Add bok choy and simmer 5-10 minutes.
  • Soak noodles in hot water until softened, 5-10 minutes. Cook noodles in boiling water until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse well with cold water.
  • Divide noodles among six bowls. Add chicken pieces, scallions, remaining 1⁄4 cup each mint and cilantro, and tatsoi. Pour hot broth and bok choy over top. Serve with Tuong Ot Toi.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Bok Choy: Choose bok choy that is deep green in color and has crisp, firm stalks. Avoid wilted or yellowed leaves.
  • Use Fresh Ginger and Garlic: Fresh ginger and garlic add a burst of flavor to the soup. Peel and mince them finely before adding to the pot.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Bok choy cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. It should retain its vibrant green color and slightly crunchy texture.
  • Use High-Quality Chicken Broth: A good quality chicken broth forms the base of the soup. You can use homemade or store-bought broth. If using store-bought, choose a low-sodium option.
  • Season to Taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and sesame oil to taste. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or rice vinegar for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

This healthy and flavorful bok choy and chicken soup is a perfect meal for a cold day or when you need a comforting and nutritious meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Experiment with different vegetables, herbs, and seasonings to create a soup that you'll love. Enjoy!
