Instructions
How to Make Comforting Creamy Bok Choy Chicken Soup
- Prepare Chicken: Start by dicing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Heat a splash of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, until it’s golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add minced garlic and thinly sliced ginger to the pot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Broth and Vegetables: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Carefully add the sliced carrots and chopped bok choy; simmer for 10 minutes.
- Season the Soup: Stir in the low-sodium soy sauce and a drizzle of sesame oil. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Serve: Ladle the comforting soup into bowls. Optionally garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
