Chicken and Bok Choy Soup image

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.

Time 27m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 onion
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon oil
400 g chicken breasts
4 cups vegetable stock
salt
pepper
1 tablespoon soy sauce
450 g bok choy

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.

This soup is a waste of time and ingredients. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out terrible. The broth was watery and the chicken was tough.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra ginger and garlic to give it more flavor.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some shredded carrots and celery for extra flavor.

This soup is so easy to make and it's packed with flavor. I love that I can use frozen chicken and bok choy, which makes it a great weeknight meal.

I made this soup for dinner last night and it was delicious! The chicken was tender and the bok choy was perfectly crisp. I will definitely be making this again.
