CHINESE CHICKEN VEGETABLE SOUP



Chinese Chicken Vegetable Soup image

We had a Chinese restaurant that made two soups that I loved how they tasted. When they went out of business, we looked for someone else that made these two soups, without much luck. Knowing all the ingredients that were there, I went to work to make my own recipe for this very tasty soup. Plus I'm a big fan of 'make it tasty, fast and easy' which this is, when I run the veggies through my food processor. Also when I not feel well, this is one soup that has all what help me feel better. I also serve this with steamed rice as a side dish for those who want it as well.

The flavorful broth, tender chicken, and crisp vegetables make for a satisfying dish that is easy to prepare. If you want to make the best soup possible, here are some tips that will help. Tip #1: Choose the Right Vegetables Vegetables are essential ingredients in any soup, and Asian chicken and vegetable soup is no exception. When selecting vegetables, you should choose those with a high water content, such as napa cabbage, bok choy, and spinach. These vegetables will help to add a lot of flavor and nutrition to the soup without making it too heavy. Tip #2: Use Quality Chicken The chicken is the main ingredient in this soup, so it's essential that you use quality meat. Choose organic or free-range chicken if possible. This type of chicken is healthier and has a better flavor than conventionally raised chicken. Tip #3: Use Low-Sodium Broth One of the most important ingredients in this soup is the broth. Low-sodium chicken broth is the best choice for this recipe. It will allow you to season the soup to your liking without making it too salty. Tip #4: Add Flavor with Ginger and Garlic Asian soups are known for their bold and complex flavors. Adding ginger and garlic to your soup will help to give it an authentic Asian taste. Ginger is also known for its health benefits, including reducing inflammation and boosting the immune system. Tip #5: Don't Overcook the Vegetables Overcooking the vegetables can make them mushy and unappetizing. You should add the vegetables to the soup towards the end of the cooking process to ensure they remain crispy and delicious. Tip #6: Add Some Spice If you like spicy food, you can add some heat to your soup by adding chili peppers or chili paste. This will give your soup a kick and make it perfect for a chilly day. Tip #7: Garnish with Fresh Herbs Garnishing your soup with fresh herbs such as cilantro or mint can add a burst of flavor and fragrance. Fresh herbs are also known for their health benefits, including reducing inflammation and improving digestion. Tip #8: Use Pre-Cooked Chicken To save time and ensure that your chicken is perfectly tender, use pre-cooked chicken. You can either use leftover chicken from a previous meal or purchase pre-cooked chicken from the grocery store. Tip #9: Prepare the Vegetables Ahead of Time Preparing the vegetables ahead of time can save you a lot of time when you're ready to make the soup. You can chop the vegetables and store them in an airtight container in the fridge until you're ready to use them. Tip #10: Serve with Crusty Bread A crusty baguette or some other type of bread is the perfect accompaniment to this soup. It will help to soak up the flavorful broth and provide a satisfying crunch. In conclusion, Asian chicken and vegetable soup is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to make. By following these tips, you can ensure that your soup is flavorful, nutritious, and perfect for any occasion. Whether you're cooking for yourself or for a crowd, this soup is sure to satisfy.
