To make the Nourishing Chicken and Rice Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large saucepan over high heat, add 3 chicken thigh fillets, 200 grams rice, 3 thinly sliced garlic cloves, 1 inch of thinly sliced ginger root, and 6 cups water and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, covered, until the chicken is tender, about 15 minutes. Once the chicken is tender, remove from the saucepan.
Increase the heat to medium and add the sweet potato rounds. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is al dente and the sweet potato is tender, about 10 minutes.
Using forks, coarsely shred the chicken.
Return the chicken to the saucepan and add the coriander stems and zucchini to the soup. Cook for 2 more minutes or until the zucchini is tender and the chicken is heated through. Remove the saucepan from heat.
Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Taste and season with salt and black pepper.
Serve garnished with coriander leaves and enjoy!
