Infusing chicken broth with garlic and ginger makes a fragrant, flavorful soup base. We won't say we've found the cure for the common cold, but a warm bowl of this aromatic soup sure hits the spot when you're feeling under the weather.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

  • 1 one-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into matchsticks

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • cup long-grain white rice

  • 3 ounces baby spinach (3 cups)

  • Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. In a medium pot, bring broth, 2 cups water, garlic, and ginger to a simmer over medium. Add chicken and rice and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. With tongs, transfer chicken to a plate. Cover pot and simmer until rice is tender, 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

  2. Shred chicken and return to pot. Stir in spinach and season with salt and pepper.
