Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon canola oil
4 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
6 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons fish sauce
One 5-ounce jar tamarind paste
4 heads baby bok choy, chopped
1 grilled chicken breast, thinly sliced
2 scallions, sliced, for garnish

Steps:

Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the mushroom, salt, carrot and onion and saute until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the broth, fish sauce and tamarind, bring to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are fully cooked, about 10 minutes. Add the bok choy and chicken and continue to simmer until the bok choy is cooked and the chicken is heated through, about 5 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with a sprinkling of scallions.
