Bok choy

4 cups, chopped

Chicken broth

4 cups

Soy sauce

2 tablespoons

Sesame oil

1 tablespoon

Green onions

Instructions

1. In a large pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the pot and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pot.
2. Add the diced onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, allowing the aroma to fill the kitchen.
4. Add the chopped bok choy to the pot and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic.
5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
6. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, adjusting the flavors with salt and pepper to your taste.
7. Serve the soup hot, garnished with the crispy bacon and sliced green onions for a fresh finish.
