Mushroom Bok Choy Soup

Bok choy flowers do have a limited use as a culinary ingredient, though when they are utilized, they always elevate the appropriate dish they accompany.

Recipe Summary Mushroom Bok Choy Soup

I thought of this healthy and delicious recipe when my wife was sick and craving a nice flavorful brothy soup to help make her feel better. It really did the trick! She's asked me to make it several times since then.

Ingredients | Bok Choy Flowers

¼ cup unsalted butter

1 head bok choy, chopped

1 pound white and crimini mushrooms, cut into quarters

4 green onions, sliced

2 tablespoons minced garlic, or more to taste

8 slices fresh ginger, quartered

¼ cup lime juice

7 cups chicken broth

½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Heat butter in a stock pot over medium heat; add bok choy, mushrooms, green onions, garlic, and ginger. Sprinkle mushroom mixture with lime juice; cook and stir just until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, pour in chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Serve with cilantro.

My wife and I like the mushrooms in a little bigger chunks but you can cut or slice them any size you like or leave them whole. Portobello mushrooms would work well for this recipe, too.

If you want a thinner, less robust soup, try adding a little water. My wife and I however felt it took away from the great flavor of this soup.
