Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound chicken breast, diced
  • 2 cups bok choy, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and ginger, sautéing until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent—about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the diced chicken breast to the pot, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the sliced carrots. Bring to a gentle boil; let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Once the carrots are tender, add the chopped bok choy and soy sauce. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the bok choy is just wilted.
  6. Give the soup a final taste, adjusting the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve it warm, topped with freshly sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

If bok choy isn’t available, you can use a mix of spinach and napa cabbage. Avoid overcooking the bok choy to keep it crunchy. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days in the refrigerator or freeze for up to three months.
