Ingredients
¾ lb. skinless, boneless Chicken Thighs
⅓ cup jasmine Rice, rinsed
4 Garlic Cloves, thinly sliced
1 2" piece Ginger, peeled, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. fresh Lemon Juice
2 small Sweet Potatoes, unpeeled, cut into ½"-thick rounds
2 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
½ bunch Cilantro, coarsely chopped
Freshly ground Black Pepper
Kosher Salt
Instructions
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, 10–12 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, 15–20 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to a bowl and shred with 2 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.
