CHICKEN & BOK CHOY SOUP WITH GINGER & MUSHROOMS
What is so obliging about this hearty chicken soup is that you can add any vegetables that suit your fancy: napa or Savoy cabbage, mushrooms, Chinese broccoli, broccolini, onions, leeks, mustard or turnip greens, celery or whatever tickles your bonnet. Just be sure that you don't overcook the vegetables. Spice it up with chile sauce, such as sriracha, and/or serve the soup over noodles to make it a more substantial main dish.

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.

Steps:
- In a shallow baking dish, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and ginger; stir in the 2-inch scallion pieces and the star anise, if using. Season the chicken with salt and add to the marinade, turning to coat. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Line a footed metal colander with 2 layers of damp cheesecloth, allowing 2 inches of overhang. Place in a pot and add enough water to just reach the colander bottom. Bring to a simmer; have a small pot of boiling water on the side.
- Pour the couscous into the colander. Place the chicken thighs on top in a single layer, pressing up the sides of the colander, if necessary; reserve the marinade. Cover and steam, adding more hot water as needed until the chicken is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, simmer the reserved marinade until thickened, about 4 minutes; strain.
- When the chicken is almost done, scatter the bok choy on top, season with salt and steam for 3 minutes. Transfer the bok choy and chicken to a platter, drizzle with the marinade and top with half of the sliced scallions. Stir the remaining scallions into the couscous, season with salt and serve with the chicken.

CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP WITH GINGER AND TURMERIC
Many countries have some form of creamy rice porridge in their culinary canon, such as Chinese congee, Filipino lugaw or arroz caldo and Korean juk, to name just a few. Seasonings vary, but all call for simmering a little bit of rice with a lot of liquid until the grains tenderize and break down to create a deeply comforting soup. Ideal for those harboring colds or seeking comfort, this brothy chicken-and-rice soup begins with poaching an entire chicken, which takes time, but guarantees tender meat. The rendered fat creates a rich, flavorful broth, while coriander and turmeric add earthy notes. Fresh cilantro, red chile and ginger brighten the dish.

Steps:
- In a large pot, combine the oil with 3/4 cup scallions, the garlic, finely chopped ginger, coriander and turmeric. Season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the rice and stir until coated. Add the chicken stock and 2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a boil over high. Meanwhile, prepare the bok choy: Trim and discard the ends, then halve crosswise, separating the leafy bok choy tops from the heftier stems. Cut the stems crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
- Once the stock comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and carefully add the whole chicken, then the wings and legs, adding the meat in a single layer. (If the chicken isn't fully submerged, add enough water until the meat is fully covered.) Cover the pot with a lid, leaving the lid cracked open about 1 inch, and simmer over medium-low until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. (Reduce the heat to low if necessary. You want to keep it at a low simmer to ensure the chicken stays tender.) Transfer the chicken to a large bowl.
- Continue to cook the soup over medium, uncovered, until the rice is tender and the liquid starts to thicken, 20 to 25 minutes. While the rice continues to cook, shred the chicken: Once cool, discard the chicken skin and tear the meat into bite-size pieces, discarding the bones. (You should have about 3 packed cups of shredded meat.)
- Stir the bok choy stems and shredded chicken into the soup, and simmer just until stems are slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the leafy bok choy tops, and season to taste with salt.
- Divide among bowls and serve with bowls of chile, cilantro, sliced scallions and julienned ginger, to garnish.
Tips:
- Prep Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you save time and ensure your soup is cooked evenly.
- Use Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger adds a vibrant flavor to the soup. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can substitute ground ginger, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Overcooked chicken can become tough and dry. Cook the chicken just until it is cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add Vegetables Last: Vegetables like bok choy and carrots cook quickly, so add them to the soup towards the end of cooking.
- Season to Taste: Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or soy sauce to taste.
Conclusion:
Ginger chicken bok choy soup is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold day. It's packed with flavor from the ginger, chicken, and vegetables, and it's also very easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
