Bok Choy and Tomato Soup

Ingredients

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Ginger

1 tablespoon, grated

Bok choy

4 cups, chopped

Tomatoes

4 medium, diced

Vegetable broth

4 cups

Soy sauce

2 tablespoons

Sesame oil

1 tablespoon

Salt

to taste

Pepper

to taste

Green onions

2, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden.
3. Stir in the chopped bok choy and diced tomatoes, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the bok choy starts to wilt.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. After simmering, stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Remove the soup from heat and let it cool slightly.
8. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. (If using a regular blender, allow the soup to cool before blending in batches to prevent splattering.)
9. Return the puree to the pot and reheat gently if needed.
10. Serve the soup hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
