Chicken & Bok Choy Soup with Ginger & Mushrooms

This recipe taste great. It reminds me of Pho with the star anise and cinnamon, and it's phenomenal with rice noodles. I substituted the low sodium soy sauce with 75% regular soy sauce since that was all I had. My mom is extremely sick, and even she had 2 bowls of this soup for the morning. For that, I'm grateful.

I have made it several times. The broth works quite well. Sometimes I add a bit of fish sauce or rice wine vinegar. The veg party I use what I have on hand, sliced thin and added according to cooking time needed. Adding peanuts or other nuts or seeds on top bulks up the the soup, especially if I'm short on meat. This basic recipe is a keeper.

Made this today and found it delicious and totally enjoyable. I would make two suggestions: edit the measurement for the ginger 61/8" slices, looks like six and 1/8 inches of sliced ginger. I peeled a six inch piece of ginger and then saw the 1/8th inch which made me look closer and realize the mistake I was just about to make. Secondly, beware, the whites of the bok coy cook quickly and become mush. Next time I will add a greater variety of vegetables. I also appreciated the heads-up on cutting in advance, this saved time and made the actual cook time simpler.

Yummy! Made this today after looking for a recipe that will help build immune system - feeling a cold kick in and wanted to fight it off. I prepared the ingredients before getting the cooking going - found this to make things soooo much easier. I also added a little of sirachi to the soy sauce. I definitely suggest this recipe. We didn't even miss the noodles found in most chicken soups; the bean sprouts and other veggies were amazing. Pros: Balance of Greens & Sweet with Spice, Crunch from Bean Sprouts and Cons: Lots of Ingredients - but this is not a con!! :)
