Ingredients
(1) 16 oz carton of organic chicken or beef bone broth, such as Kettle & Fire
1 tablespoon high-quality extra virgin olive oil
1 large carrot (or 2 small) with skins, chopped to 1/16” rounds
2 stalks organic celery, chopped
1 medium shallot, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 medium-large head of baby bok choy (about 8–10 oz), chopped, white stems and green tops separated
8–10 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed from stems (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon dried basil
Fresh cracked pepper to taste
OPTIONAL:
Fine sea salt to taste if desired
1/4 cup cooked quinoa, brown rice or millet
FOR GARNISH:
1 tablespoon hemp seeds
Celery leaves and/or fresh basil
Instructions
- Smash, peel and chop the garlic clove and set aside in a small bowl to rest.
- Wash and prep the remaining veggies, separating the green and white parts of the bok choy. Leave the skins on the carrots for extra fiber and nutrients.
- In a medium sauce with a lid, heat the extra virgin olive oil on medium heat. Add the carrots and celery and sauté for 5 minutes.
- Add the shallots and garlic, stirring to evenly distribute. Sauté until shallots being turning translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the white bok choy pieces, followed by the bone broth and herbs. Cover and bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes or until the carrots are easily pierced with a fork.
- Just before serving, add the bok choy greens to the hot soup and stir.
- Add salt and pepper to taste if desired, and any additional garnishes you like.
Store any leftovers in the fridge in a glass container with a tight-fitting lid for up to 3 days.
Reheat on the stove top.
Notes
Use this recipe as a guide. If you use too many vegetables, add some water or traditional stock to increase the liquid without having to open another container of bone broth.
Regular bok choy works just as well as baby bok choy.
