Ingredients

  • 1.3 lbs. Raw Chicken I used 2 chicken breasts
  • 1.5 cups Peeled Straw Mushrooms one can
  • 4 inch of Fresh Ginger Root
  • 5 Cloves of Garlic
  • 6 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
  • 4 cups Water
  • Cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large soup pot, pour in the chicken broth and water.
  • Turn heat to medium/high and bring up to a simmer.
  • Cut your fresh ginger into about ½ inch discs.
  • With the side of your knife between you and the ginger, smash your hand on the knife. This will increase the surface area of the ginger and allow for more of its great nutrients find their way into the soup.
  • Peel and smash your garlic the same way.
  • Leaving your garlic and ginger whole, drop them into the soup.
  • Simmer in the soup for about 30 minutes. This will help infuse with the right amount of flavor.
  • Cut your chicken into strips about ½ inch thick and 2 inches long.
  • Drop your chicken into the soup and cook for about 15 minutes or until it looks like they’re done.
  • Fish out the ginger and garlic.
  • Turn off the heat and add the mushrooms.
  • Serve in large bowls and top with as much cilantro as you like.
  • Enjoy!
