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:

  • Choose the right chicken: For a flavorful soup, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts. The bones and skin will add richness and depth of flavor to the broth.
  • Use fresh bok choy: Fresh bok choy will have crisp, tender leaves and a bright green color. Avoid bok choy that is wilted or has yellowed leaves.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the bok choy to the soup, make sure there is enough room for the leaves to cook evenly. If the pot is too crowded, the bok choy will steam instead of sautéing and will not develop its full flavor.
  • Season to taste: Once the soup is finished, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or soy sauce to taste.

Conclusion:

This chicken and bok choy soup is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this one a try.
