Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 cups chopped bok choy (about 1 small head)
- 1 medium carrot (sliced into thin rounds)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger (grated)
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Wash and chop bok choy, carrots, garlic, and ginger.
2. In a large pot over medium heat, heat olive oil and sauté the chicken thighs until golden brown on both sides (6–8 minutes). Remove and set aside.
3. In the same pot, add garlic and ginger. Sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
4. Return the chicken to the pot with bok choy and carrots. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil.
5. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
6. Remove cooked chicken from the pot; shred into bite-sized pieces and return to soup.
Notes
Use bone-in chicken thighs for more flavor if preferred, but adjust cooking time.
Add a splash of soy sauce or a squeeze of lemon for a different twist.
This soup freezes well for up to 2 months.
Great with a side of steamed rice or crusty bread.
