Instructions

In a large sauce pot, cover the chicken breasts and the ginger with the chicken stock, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove the chicken and ginger from the pot, and place on a plate to cool. If desired, keep the ginger and add back to the soup, or you can discard it if you don’t want to bite into chunks of ginger.

Add the remaining ingredients to the pot, stir to combine and cook for 10 minutes or until fork tender.

Shred the chicken, add it back to the pot, and serve soup hot.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Ginger Coin Technique 🥢
Slice fresh ginger into thin coins rather than mincing—they soften beautifully during simmering and are enjoyable to eat, plus they infuse more controlled flavor than smaller pieces that can become mushy.
Poach Chicken Gently 🍗
Keep the broth at a gentle simmer (not boiling) after adding chicken breasts to prevent them from becoming tough and dry; they'll cook through in 12-15 minutes while staying tender and juicy.
Mushroom Umami Boost 🍄
Add shiitake mushrooms during the last 8-10 minutes of cooking to preserve their delicate texture and maximize their rich umami flavors that deepen the soup's savory profile.
Layered Aromatics Timing ⏱️
Add carrots and celery early with the stock to soften, then add scallions in the final 2 minutes so they retain their fresh crunch and vibrant color as a garnish element.
Broth Building Foundation 💧
Bloom the ginger in the hot stock for 2-3 minutes before adding other ingredients to activate its essential oils and create a more aromatic, flavorful broth base throughout the entire soup.
