List of Ingredients

◦ � pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs
◦ ⅓ cup jasmine rice, rinsed
◦ 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
◦ 1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled, thinly sliced
◦ Kosher salt
◦ 2 small sweet potatoes, unpeeled, cut into �-inch-thick rounds
◦ 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
◦ 2 tablespoons soy sauce
◦ � bunch cilantro, coarsely chopped
◦ Freshly ground black pepper


Recipe

Bring chicken, rice, garlic, ginger, and 5 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add a big pinch of salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until rice has swelled and chicken is firm, 10 to 12 minutes.

Add potatoes to pan and cook over medium-low heat, still uncovered and stirring occasionally, until soup is thickened and potatoes and rice are tender, 15 to 20 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to a bowl and shred with two forks, then return to pot. Stir in lemon juice and soy sauce; taste soup and season with salt if needed. Divide soup among bowls. Top with cilantro and lots of black pepper.

Makes 2 to 4 servings






❧ Do Ahead:
Soup (without cilantro) can be made three days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill. Reheat over medium-low, adding water to thin as needed.
