Servings: 4

Ingredients

Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
Onion (1 medium, diced)
Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
Fresh ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
Carrots (2 medium, sliced)
Bok choy (4 cups, chopped)
Vegetable broth (4 cups)
Coconut milk (1 cup)
Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
Lime juice (2 tablespoons)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the chopped bok choy and sliced carrots. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, do this in batches and be cautious of the hot liquid.
Stir in the coconut milk, soy sauce, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
