Bok Choy Soup

This Bok Choy Soup is scrumptious and flavorful and doesn’t take much time to put together. Besides, this simple recipe proves that leafy greens really can be delicious. Inspired by the flavors of Asian cuisine, this noodle soup is subtly spiced with ginger, garlic, and star anise. And what I love most is that this recipe combines simple ingredients and tons of flavor.

In this recipe, I call for chicken broth, but you can keep it vegan and skip the chicken broth. I often make this soup using vegetable broth or just water, and it is still so hearty, filling, and delicious. Garnish with chopped green onions, red chili flakes to add a touch of heat if you wish, and sesame seeds and you are ready to go!

To make the Bok Choy Soup, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Bok Choy Soup

1	Cook shallots	5
In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and add 3 diced shallots. Cook, stirring often, for about 4-5 minutes or until translucent and soft.

Remove and discard the star anise.
