Bok Choy Chicken SoupRhonda Parkinson
This easy Chinese recipe allows you to get all the nutritional benefits of bok choy in a simple, flavorful soup. Feel free to increase the nutritional value by using homemade chicken broth, or adding cooked chicken or raw, peeled shrimp.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 10 leaves bok choy, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled, chopped

Preparation:

Bring the chicken broth to boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the seasonings (the red pepper flakes, soy sauce, Asian sesame oil), and the chopped garlic.

Add the bok choy. Simmer for up to 10 minutes, until the bok choy leaves turn dark green and are wilted and tender. Serves 4 to 5.

Phase III, Low Carb Soup!, Member blumagnolias

This is a great low carb, phase III soup. I dressed it up a bit. First I made turkey meatballs (you can use extra lean beef or ground chicken) added chopped onions, a teaspoon of low sodium, no sugar Soy Sauce and fried then over lower heat in a pan with ? teaspoon of extra virgin Olive Oil until done While the meatballs were cooking, I added ? teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil to a sauce pan, saut?ed ? chili flakes and garlic ( add or omit to taste), 1 teaspoon of Fish Sauce, 2 cups of organic chicken broth (no sugar) bought the liquid to a boil, then to a simmer, added baby Bok Choy and meatballs, simmered for 5 minutes more and it was delicious! I cut about 1 inch from the bottom of the baby Bok Choy, separated the leaves, washed them, then sliced the leaves into strips and added them to the liquid.
