Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 shallots diced
- 1 bunch green onions chopped, green and white divided
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp ginger fresh, minced
- 5.5 cups low sodium chicken broth or water for vegan
- 2 whole star anise
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or Tamari for a Gluten Free option
- 10 oz crimini mushrooms sliced
- 6 oz rice noodles
- 1.5 heads bok choy roughly chopped
- sesame seeds for topping
- red pepper flakes for topping
Directions
-
Heat 1-2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium-sized stockpot over medium heat.
-
To the oil add the diced shallots and mix well. Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, or until the shallots turn translucent and start to soften. Stir often.
-
Chop the end off of each green onion- dividing the white part from the green part. Chop and set aside the green part for topping. Meanwhile, finely chop the white part of each green onion.
-
Add the white part of the green onions, minced garlic, and ginger to the shallots and mix. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes or until garlic and ginger is fragrant.
-
Carefully pour the chicken stock or water (or mix) into the pot and bring to a simmer. To the pot add the star anise and soy sauce. Cover and continue to simmer for 10 minutes.
-
Remove lid from the pot and carefully remove and discard each star anise from the soup.
-
Add the sliced mushrooms, uncooked noodles, and bok choy to the pot and simmer for 5-8 minutes, or until noodles and bok choy are tender. Season to taste.
-
Divide soup between bowls and garnish with sesame seeds, the green parts of green onions and red pepper flakes (if desired).
