HOW TO MAKE BOK CHOY CHICKEN GARLIC SOUP

I will prepare this on the stove top in a large batch and eat it all day long.

• You can make this soup with chicken breasts, or you can also pick up a Rotisserie chicken and shred the chicken off the bird and boil the carcass to get the benefits from a bone broth soup.
• For this soup, I just used the breasts however both methods are good to fight off a cold. 
• Keep in mind if you are using a whole bird, you won’t need any extra chicken stock since you will be making a bone broth from the bird. 

If you are using chicken breasts then you will definitely want to use chicken stock. I believe this soup can prevent colds and the flu and heal the body, because every time I prepare this soup I feel so much better the next day. See recipe below for all the ingredients and full instructions!! 

Now, I do not know about you but whenever I travel I tend to catch a cold!

Sucks I know, so beforehand I do my best to boost my immune system with supplements and eating healthy.

But sometimes no matter what you do, that pesky cold still comes on.

So a soup like this is sure to help the body to heal and feel better!

Ever since I started to incorporate this soup in my diet right around the time I travel, I manage to minimize or avoid the symptoms of the cold and for me that is great because I would rather be sick 24 hours versus 2 weeks.

Packed with immune boosting ingredients and nutrients, this soup is something you will definitely enjoy even when you’re not under the weather.

Feel free to add some egg noodles to it if you like. I hope you give it a try, and If you are not feeling well I hope this soup makes you feel a whole lot better.

HOW TO MAKE BOK CHOY SOUP

• Start by slicing your mushrooms and chopping the baby bok choy into bite size pieces.
• Next chop your onion, crush your garlic and peel and finely chop your your ginger root into tiny pieces. You can use powders if you prefer.
• If you are using chicken breasts: dice them into bite size pieces and set aside.
• If you are using a Rotisserie chicken: remove all the meat from your bird and then place the chicken carcass into a large stock pot and add cover with 8 cups of water. Simmer the carcass on low heat for 45 minutes turning a few times to allow the stock to develop.
• Once the stock has developed, discard the carcass and place the remaining stock aside in a bowl.
• Next, in your stock pot heat the olive oil and sauteed your onion, garlic and ginger for 2 minutes till fragrant.
• Now, add in your shredded chicken, chicken stock along with all your bok choy
• Add in all the spices and simmer on medium – low for 20 minutes.
• Serve and allow your body to heal itself. Enjoy!

CAN YOU FREEZE BOK CHOY SOUP

Yes, it freezes well. Up to 3 months max though, you do not want a freezer burnt soup.
