Ingredients

• 6–8 chicken thighs

• 1 tbsp chicken bouillon

• 1 small onion, diced

• 3 cloves garlic, pressed

• 1 inch ginger, sliced thick

• 2 tsp salt

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 1 chili pepper, broken in half

• 1.7 L water

• ½ tbsp fish sauce

• Handful of bok choy, washed and ends removed

• Cooked rice noodles (½ pack)

• 3 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

How to Make Spicy Chicken Bok Choy Soup

1. Sauté the Chicken

In a large pot over medium heat, lightly sauté the chicken thighs until they begin to brown and release their juices.

2. Build the Base

Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent. Pour in the water, then add garlic, ginger, chili, salt, pepper, and chicken bouillon.

3. Simmer & Infuse

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, then remove the chili pepper to keep the heat balanced.

4. Slow Simmer

Continue simmering for another 30 minutes, allowing the broth to become rich and flavorful and the chicken tender.

5. Add Bok Choy

Add the bok choy and cook for 15 minutes, just until tender and vibrant. Stir in the fish sauce to finish the broth.

To Serve

• Place cooked rice noodles into a bowl

• Ladle hot chicken soup with bok choy over the noodles

• Garnish with fresh green onions

Serve immediately and enjoy while hot.

Why This Soup Feels So Good

• Ginger & garlic help warm and support immunity

• Light spice boosts circulation and clears sinuses

• Bok choy adds freshness, crunch, and nutrients

• Chicken broth comforts and restores

This soup is gentle, grounding, and deeply healing—the kind of meal you make for yourself or someone you love when they need extra care ✨
