Feel Better Chicken Soup

Ingredients

· ¾ lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs

· ⅓ cup jasmine rice, rinsed

· 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

· 1 2" piece ginger, peeled, thinly sliced

· Kosher salt

· 2 small sweet potatoes, unpeeled, cut into ½"-thick rounds

· 1 stalk celery chopped

· 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

· 1 Tbsp. soy sauce

· ½ bunch cilantro, or Italian flat leaf parsley, coarsely chopped

· Freshly ground black pepper

Recipe Preparation

• Bring chicken, rice, garlic, ginger, celery and 5 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add a big pinch of salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until rice has swelled and chicken is firm, 10–12 minutes.

• Add potatoes to pan and cook over medium-low heat, still uncovered and stirring occasionally, until soup is thickened and potatoes and rice are tender, 15–20 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to a bowl and shred with 2 forks, then return to pot. Stir in lemon juice and soy sauce; taste soup and season with salt if needed. Divide soup among bowls.

• Top with cilantro or parsley and lots of black pepper.
