Pomegranate Chicken Soup



So many of us have a freezer full of turkey or chicken stock after the holidays...I use it in stirfrys, risottos and soups! Especially in the cold days of winter there is nothing better than a bowl of heartwarming soup. Rather than make a big pot of one soup, I freeze my stock in smaller containers so I can make a new soup every night or two.

My last soup was chicken with bok choy and pomegranate seeds! It was fantastic. The few ingredients means I can whip it up in no time at all. I just added left over chicken and freshly chopped bok choy to the stock and heated it up. When I dished it, I added a handful of pomegrante seeds. The bok choy is tender crisp and the seeds add a great bit of freshness and sweetness which plays well off my stock which is generally a bit spicy.

The green and red colours also make a great presentation. Try it. I bet you'll like it!
