Chinese Chicken And Shrimp Soup
Servings: 4
Directions
- In a 4- to 5-qt pan, combine broth, ginger, and soy sauce; bring to a boil over high heat. Add in chicken, mushrooms, bok choy, tofu, and onions. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer till chicken is no longer pink in center; cut to test (about 2 min).
- Remove pan from heat and stir in shrimp and cilantro. Season to taste with red pepper, if you like.
- This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
- Comments: This Asian-style soup is ready to serve almost as soon as it boils. Once you've prepared the nourishing ingredients - chicken, shrimp, tofu, and vegetables - there's little left to do but combine and heat them, then savor the result.
