Bok Choy is low in calories, fat and is high in calcium, potassium and Vitamin C and A. Bok Choy also contain glucosinolates, which may help prevent cancer by eliminate carcinogens. Bok Choy is used in a lot of stir fry recipes but I personally like to make a soup that allows me to drink all of the nutrients in the broth. It is simple and quick to make and packed full of flavor and nutrition. If you add diced tofu to the recipe, it will also give you protein.Chef Vicki's Bok Choy Soup
3 cups vegetable broth
(you can use three cups of water and 3 vegetable bouillon cubes)
1 celery stalk diced
1/2 white onion diced
6 button mushrooms sliced
6 Bok Choy leaves chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 block Extra Firm Tofu cubed in 1/2 inch pieces (optional)
Bring broth to boil and add celery, onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Boil for 2 minutes and lower heat to medium. Add Bok Choy and tofu and simmer for approximately 5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
1. Thank you for the healthy recipe for Bok Choy and Nappa Risotto. Plan on trying both over the weekend. I like the idea of making the soup as, at times it is difficult to actually eat a meal, so this is appealing to me, nor does it sound at all comlicated to prepare.
Also the fact that these dishes are loaded with essential vitamins, offer added protein, preventative towards cancers, and palatable to the taste as well? Sounds good to me!
Thank you Jason
