VIETNAMESE CHICKEN MEATBALL SOUP WITH BOK CHOY
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

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:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and set aside. Finely chop 1 scallion and slice the other 2 into 1 inch bias. In a large bowl, whisk together the chopped scallions, garlic, ginger, egg, soy sauce, oil, five spice, salt and pepper. Add in the chicken, pork and bread crumbs and mix well. Form the mixture into ¾ inch meatballs and place on the prepared baking pan. Place in the oven and bake for about 8 to 10 min, or until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.

Lower heat to low, add in the garlic powder, ground ginger, star anise and mushrooms and simmer gently for 10 to 15 min, or until the mushrooms are hydrated and tender. Remove the star anise. Add in the carrots, bok choy and meatballs and simmer until tender, about 10 minute.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your soup will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When you're cooking the meatballs, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Simmer the soup: Once the meatballs are cooked, simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes. This will help develop the flavors and make the soup more flavorful.
- Season to taste: Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or fish sauce.
