CHICKEN AND CAULIFLOWER RICE SOUP
Sometimes you need the comfort and healing power of chicken noodle soup but could do without the noodles. For those times, there's this herby and aromatic soup featuring fresh ginger, jalapeño, green onion, basil and cilantro, and made complete with tender chunks of chicken thighs and a rich chicken broth. In place of noodles, this soup features cauliflower rice-find it in the freezer section of your grocery store. This cruciferous vegetable does double duty here by making a satisfying textural substitute for the rice or noodles you might normally add to your chicken soup, while also adding some healthful benefits-cauliflower is loaded with nutrients, fiber, vitamins and potassium. The final twist in this soup recipe is the tablespoon of soy sauce stirred in at the end for extra savory flavor that'll have you coming back for a second bowl! So next time you need to heal your body or soul, do it with the help of this non-traditional but just-as-soothing chicken soup!

- In 5-quart Dutch oven, heat 2 teaspoons of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Toss chicken with sesame oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the black pepper.

Add mushrooms and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and starting to brown. Add white parts of onion, gingerroot, garlic, chopped jalapeño and carrots to Dutch oven; cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are starting to soften and are fragrant.
- Stir in broth; heat to boiling. Stir in chicken and cauliflower; return to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is tender. Stir in soy sauce and green parts of onion; divide among serving bowls.
