Gringo Chicken Rice Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Combine chicken breasts, carrots, 1-1/2 cups cilantro leaves and stems, quartered onion half, halved garlic cloves and potato.
• Simmer together with 6 cups of water for about one hour (more if you have the time).
• Drain and reserve broth and chicken, discarding vegetables.
• When cool, cube chicken.
• Heat about 2 cups of reserved broth to almost boiling.
• In a large saucepan, saute onions and garlic together.
• Stir in flour until a"paste" forms.
• Add hot broth and whisk briskly to dissolve flour and thicken broth.
• Add remaining stock, then cumin and oregano, continuing to whisk briskly until flour is dissolved and broth is thickened a little.
• Stir in cooked rice and cubed cooked chicken.
• Simmer all together for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Chicken will almost shred itself!
• Stir in salt, pepper and half and half; heat but do not bring to boil.
• Just before serving add 1 cup fresh minced cilantro and 1 or 2 sliced green onions.
• The soup will thicken up overnight; thin with water or broth if you wish.

Steps:

• In a medium pot, bring broth, 2 cups water, garlic, and ginger to a simmer over medium. Add chicken and rice and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. With tongs, transfer chicken to a plate. Cover pot and simmer until rice is tender, 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Shred chicken and return to pot. Stir in spinach and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine the oil with 3/4 cup scallions, the garlic, finely chopped ginger, coriander and turmeric. Season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the rice and stir until coated. Add the chicken stock and 2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a boil over high. Meanwhile, prepare the bok choy: Trim and discard the ends, then halve crosswise, separating the leafy bok choy tops from the heftier stems. Cut the stems crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
• Once the stock comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and carefully add the whole chicken, then the wings and legs, adding the meat in a single layer. (If the chicken isn't fully submerged, add enough water until the meat is fully covered.) Cover the pot with a lid, leaving the lid cracked open about 1 inch, and simmer over medium-low until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. (Reduce the heat to low if necessary. You want to keep it at a low simmer to ensure the chicken stays tender.) Transfer the chicken to a large bowl.
• Continue to cook the soup over medium, uncovered, until the rice is tender and the liquid starts to thicken, 20 to 25 minutes. While the rice continues to cook, shred the chicken: Once cool, discard the chicken skin and tear the meat into bite-size pieces, discarding the bones. (You should have about 3 packed cups of shredded meat.)
• Stir the bok choy stems and shredded chicken into the soup, and simmer just until stems are slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the leafy bok choy tops, and season to taste with salt.
• Divide among bowls and serve with bowls of chile, cilantro, sliced scallions and julienned ginger, to garnish.
