Chicken and Bok Choy Soup image

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your soup. Look for bok choy that is deep green and crisp, and chicken that is free of antibiotics and hormones.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When you add too much chicken or bok choy to the pot, it will not cook evenly and the soup will be watery. Add the ingredients in batches, if necessary.
  • Season to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and other seasonings you add to the soup will depend on your personal preferences. Taste the soup as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Chicken bok choy soup is delicious on its own, but it can be even better with a few toppings. Try adding shredded chicken, cooked rice, sliced green onions, or a drizzle of sesame oil.
