Green Garlic & Ginger Chicken and Rice Soup

October 23, 2023

Some one tell chicken noodle to count it’s days because there’s a new sick girl soup in town. Also known as Swamp Soup, each bowl is loaded with immune boosting ingredients like raw garlic, raw ginger, jalapeño, spinach and fresh herbs. It’s basically a flu shot.

Noting that I made a double recipe in this video, which I highly recommend because it freezes and reheats flawlessly.

I believe in happy & whole food that’s equally as fun to make as it is to eat.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 heaping cup cooked rice
  • 1 cup cooked and pulled chicken
  • 4 medium cloves of garlic
  • 2 inches fresh ginger, peeled
  • 2 stalks of green garlic, or scallions or green onions, white and green parts
  • 2-3 jalapeños**, stems and seeds removed, plus more for garnish
  • 1 cup parsley, packed plus more for garnish
  • 4 cups baby spinach, packed
  • Salt to taste
  • Soy sauce to taste

*add more or less depending on how spicy you want it!

Instructions

  1. Bring bone broth to a boil and fold in the spinach. Cook the spinach until wilted and shrunken in size. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the spinach out of the broth and into your blender. Set aside to cool.
  2. Add the rice into the broth, bring back to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Let the rice simmer in the broth until liquid has thickened and rice begins to break apart, about 10-15 minutes
  3. Transfer garlic, ginger, scallion, jalapeño and parsley into the blender with the spinach. Add about 1/4 cup of water and 1 tsp salt. Blend until smooth, about 60 seconds. If the blender gets stuck, add more water. If your blender is too small, you can do this in batches or use a food processor. DO NOT PUT HOT SOUP IN YOUR BLENDER, IT WILL EXPLODE.
  4. When broth is thickened, fold in the chicken. I recommend mixing in about half of your herb puree and giving it a taste before dumping it all in. The pungency of raw garlic can vary, and if you’re sensitive to garlic or are prone to acid reflux you might want to hold back a bit. Mix to combine, and taste for salt. Adjust as needed.
  5. Turn off the heat and serve. Finish with soy sauce, more fresh parsley, thinly sliced jalapeño, and a wedge of lemon or lime.
  6. Just want to note that I made a double batch of this in the video I posted and I highly recommend bc it freezes and reheats flawlessly.

What do you think of this recipe?

I have only made one time but my family loved it sooo much I had a request today for more “Green Soup!” Delicious!!

this was AMAZING. i am a total soup gal so I am attracted to anything soup– on top of that i love all things green. So naturally, i had to make this. I added cilantro to the herb mixture, omitted the jalepeno (didnt have any) and grilled some chicken and shredded it. I am on Weight Watchers (oy i know) for my wedding and this soup was only 2 points! I also stretched the soup to be.6 servings by adding water and a lil boullion cube.

I’ve been wanting to try this for so long. I took some liberties with what I had in house, cilantro instead of parsley, kale instead of spinach, but it tastes AMAZING!! **As I knew it would because, well it’s a Wishbone Kitchen recipe 😉

This soup is aaamazing. Flavourful, nourishing and delicious!

This is delicious!!! Doubled the chicken for a heartier soup. Seriously so impressed with the flavor of it!!

Green garlic ginger chicken and rice soup was SO good my whole family loved it and i had so much that i brought some to friends and they loved it too. make this soup!

This soup is seriously so good. I saw people snarking on it on Reddit and that led me to make it. LOL. Boy are they wrong. My husband made it for me when I was sick and we both are obsessed. He’s not a soup eater and this made him a convert.

Coriander leaves instead of parsley, and green birdseye chillies for a more asian dish

Soooo good! Omg it’s so delicious and makes you sniffle in a good way. It was also so easy. Yayyyy
