Asian Chicken Soup with Rice

Hi Everyone,

With all the heavy rain this week, my summer vibes have well and truly gone out the window. Instead I needed something comforting and warm, and this Asian chicken soup was just the ticket. When you see the word soup you usually think of a lunch dish or a starter but with the addition of rice in this recipe, it gives extra body and makes it a much more hearty, so I served mine for as a main course.  It's healthy comfort food in a bowl!

Enjoy,

Preparation Time:
10 minutes
Cooking Time:
40 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 6 skinless free range chicken thighs
  • 4 inch piece of ginger, sliced
  • 5 star anise pods
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 6 black peppercorns
  • 1 tsp coriander seeds
  • 1.5 litres free range chicken stock
  • 200g sushi rice
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp light brown sugar
  • 1 shallot thinly sliced (to garnish)
  • handful of parley and coriander leaves (to garnish)
  • Shichimi togarashi (chilli pepper mix) to sprinkle (this is spicy so only garnish with it if you want a kick)

    Method

    1. In a large pot, add the chicken, ginger, star anise, cinnamon, black pepper and coriander seeds and cover with the chicken stock. Bring to a medium heat then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the chicken is tender.
    2. Transfer the chicken to a plate and strain the broth through a sieve into a separate bowl. Discard the solids and return the broth to the pot. Over a low heat, add the rice, fish sauce and brown sugar to the pot and simmer until the rice is cooked, approx 15-20 mins.
    3. While the rice is cooking, shred the chicken and then return to the pot once the rice is cooked. Season to taste.
    4. Divide between bowls and serve with garnishes.
