CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP WITH GINGER AND TURMERIC

Chicken and Rice Soup With Ginger and Turmeric image

Many countries have some form of creamy rice porridge in their culinary canon, such as Chinese congee, Filipino lugaw or arroz caldo and Korean juk, to name just a few. Seasonings vary, but all call for simmering a little bit of rice with a lot of liquid until the grains tenderize and break down to create a deeply comforting soup. Ideal for those harboring colds or seeking comfort, this brothy chicken-and-rice soup begins with poaching an entire chicken, which takes time, but guarantees tender meat. The rendered fat creates a rich, flavorful broth, while coriander and turmeric add earthy notes. Fresh cilantro, red chile and ginger brighten the dish.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or vegetable oil
5 scallions, thinly sliced crosswise (about 3/4 cup), plus 1 to 2 scallions, thinly sliced on an angle, for garnish
5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger (from one 3-inch piece), plus extra julienned ginger, for garnish
4 teaspoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups short-grain brown rice or Arborio rice (10 ounces)
3 quarts chicken stock
3 bunches baby bok choy (about 1 pound)
1 (3- to 4-pound) chicken, wings and legs removed and reserved (this will help the chicken fit better in the pot)
Sliced fresh red chile and chopped cilantro, for serving

Steps:

In a large pot, combine the oil with 3/4 cup scallions, the garlic, finely chopped ginger, coriander and turmeric. Season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the rice and stir until coated. Add the chicken stock and 2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a boil over high. Meanwhile, prepare the bok choy: Trim and discard the ends, then halve crosswise, separating the leafy bok choy tops from the heftier stems. Cut the stems crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
Once the stock comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and carefully add the whole chicken, then the wings and legs, adding the meat in a single layer. (If the chicken isn't fully submerged, add enough water until the meat is fully covered.) Cover the pot with a lid, leaving the lid cracked open about 1 inch, and simmer over medium-low until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. (Reduce the heat to low if necessary. You want to keep it at a low simmer to ensure the chicken stays tender.) Transfer the chicken to a large bowl.
Continue to cook the soup over medium, uncovered, until the rice is tender and the liquid starts to thicken, 20 to 25 minutes. While the rice continues to cook, shred the chicken: Once cool, discard the chicken skin and tear the meat into bite-size pieces, discarding the bones. (You should have about 3 packed cups of shredded meat.)
Stir the bok choy stems and shredded chicken into the soup, and simmer just until stems are slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the leafy bok choy tops, and season to taste with salt.
Divide among bowls and serve with bowls of chile, cilantro, sliced scallions and julienned ginger, to garnish.

Ingredients

4 cups water
1 ½ lb Simple Truth® Chicken Breasts
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorn
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 medium carrots, sliced 1/4 (6 mm) think on the bias
1 ¾ cups shiitake mushroom, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 cup dinosaur kale
8 cups chicken stock
¼ lb angel hair pasta, broken crosswise into thirds
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

In a medium pot, bring the water to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Add the Simple Truth® Chicken Breasts, bay leaves, whole black peppercorns, and salt. Cook until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C), about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the poaching liquid and transfer to a cutting board. Let cool enough to handle, then dice into ¾" pieces.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the carrots and mushrooms, and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and fresh ginger, and cook until fragrant, 30-45 seconds. Add the ground ginger, turmeric, rosemary, and kale. Stir to combine for 30 seconds, then pour in the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high to bring the soup to a boil, then add the angel hair pasta and diced Simple Truth® Chicken Breasts. Cook according to the package instructions until the pasta is tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm.
Enjoy!
