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.

When cool enough to handle, tear into 1-inch pieces and divide among 4 bowls.

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.

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:
- For a richer flavor, use chicken thighs or drumsticks instead of chicken breasts.
- Add a tablespoon of soy sauce or fish sauce to the soup for an extra umami boost.
- If you don't have bok choy, you can substitute another leafy green vegetable, such as spinach or kale.
- To make the soup more spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a tablespoon of Sriracha sauce.
- Serve the soup with a side of rice or noodles.
