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
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.

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.

- Place the chicken breasts in a 5-quart saucepot along with the broth, ginger, onion, garlic, green onion and lemon grass. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the chicken is tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove the chicken from the broth, let it cool, then cover and refrigerate it overnight. Cover the chicken broth and refrigerate it overnight as well. The next day, skim any excess fat from the top of the soup. Heat the soup until it's hot, then strain it through a cheesecloth-lined strainer. Return the strained broth to the pot and bring to a simmer. Add the rice. Return the soup to a simmer, cover and cook until the rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the mushrooms and bok choy during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Remove the skin and bones from the chicken breasts and dice the meat. Place the chicken in a microwave safe bowl or container and heat in the microwave 1 to 2 minutes to warm. Place the chicken into the bottom of a serving bowl and ladle the soup over the top.

Throughout Vietnam there are many kinds of soups, "canh," served all year long. I particularly love enjoying this warm, flavorful bowl of Vietnamese chicken soup on laid-back weekends, but it's also great packed in a Thermos for lunch. It's the perfect bok choy soup, too! -Brenda Watts, Gaffney, South Carolina

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.
