Description

Here are 35 Healthy Soup Recipes to try this season! Serve for a nourishing family meal, meal prep on the weekend or freeze for lunches. Our featured recipe is this Chinese Hot Pot Slow Cooker Chicken Soup. Though the flavors in this hearty stew are inspired by a Chinese Hot pot, calling this recipe one is admittedly somewhat of a misnomer. Traditional hot pots are cooked table top, this however is cooked on the countertop in a slow cooker.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil or organic canola oil
  • 1 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, fat trimmed
  • 1 large Spanish onion, diced
  • 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup dry sherry
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup very dark maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons reduced sodium tamari
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 cup large diced carrots
  • 1 cup large dice peeled celeriac
  • 1 cup large chunks peeled yellow potato
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Turn over and continue cooking until browned. Remove skillet from heat and transfer the chicken to the insert of a large slow-cooker.
  2. Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add onion, mushrooms and garlic and cook, stirring often until the onion is softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add five spice powder, ginger, red pepper and cook, stirring until fragrant, 30 to 90 seconds.
  4. Add sherry and cook, scraping up any browned bit until mixture comes to a boil, and the sherry is reduced by about one half, 30 to 90 seconds.
  5. Add the onion mixture to the slow cooker insert. Add broth, maple syrup, tamari and vinegar to the slow cooker, and stir to combine. Add carrots, celeriac and potatoes on top, without stirring. Cover and set timer to 4 hours on low.
  6. Cook until the timer goes off. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
