Ingredients

2

cups hot cooked instant rice (cooked as directed on package, omitting margarine and salt)

1

tablespoon sesame oil

1

clove garlic, finely chopped

1/4

cup chopped green onions

3

cans (14 ounces each) fat-free chicken broth with 33% less sodium

1

cup chopped carrots

2

cups chopped cooked chicken breast

1

cup chopped bok choy or spinach

1

can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained

1/8

teaspoon pepper

Preparation

While rice is cooking, heat oil in 4-quart nonstick Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook garlic and onions in oil about 30 seconds or until garlic is golden.

Increase heat to high. Add broth and carrots; cover and heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.

Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in remaining ingredients except rice; cover and simmer 10 minutes to blend flavors.

To serve, place 1/2 cup cooked rice in each of 4 individual shallow soup plates. Ladle about 2 cups soup into each soup plate.
