Perfectly crisp Bok Choy Soup is light, yet full of flavor. It's easily customizable and comes together in 20 minutes! A nutritious, comforting soup filled with mushrooms, asparagus, and your choice of protein.
Heat olive oil in a medium-sized stockpot over medium heat. Saute garlic and scallions whites until fragrant. Add mushrooms and asparagus, sauté for 30 seconds.
Add the stock, red pepper flakes and soy sauce and cover with a lid to bring the broth to boil over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes. Then lower the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
Bring the heat up to medium and add the bok choy stem side down first and leave the leafy parts above the broth so they look like they are in standing upward position. Cook the stems for 1-2 minutes, turn off the heat and allow the leafy parts to submerge in the broth until wilted.
