Ingredients

14 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
2 medium green onions sliced
2 clove garlic cloves minced
24 oz bok choy (depending on size, you’ll need to chop them in halves or quarters)
6 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 medium ginger piece about 2 inches long, shredded
1 tbsp sesame oil
white sesame seeds to serve
one poached egg per bowl

Instructions

Add sesame oil, sliced green onion (white part only), minced garlic, and shredded ginger. Stir for one to two minutes until fragrant.
Carefully add chicken broth and soy sauce. Bring it to a boil.
Add sliced mushrooms and chopped bok choy. In my case, each bok choy weighed 7 ounces, so they’re big ones, and I chopped them in quarters.
Simmer for 5-6 minutes or until bok choy is tender. Taste saltiness and adjust to taste by adding more soy sauce or sea salt.
To serve: divide your soup into four individual bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds on top.

Tips

Prep and clean the bok choy: Rinse the bok choy thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Trim off the tough ends of the stalks and separate any yellow leaves.
Choose a flavorful broth: Use a high-quality vegetable or chicken broth as the base for your soup. If using store-bought broth, opt for low-sodium versions to have better control over the overall saltiness of your soup.

Recipe Notes

Bok choy soup is a comforting meal where the bok choy leaves provide a refreshing crunch while the stalks offer a delicate texture. The broth, infused with garlic, ginger, and onion, creates a light and fragrant base. Sliced mushrooms add a velvety richness to the soup, complementing the bok choy's subtle sweetness. Add a poached egg before serving for an ultimate nourishing soup.
