Coconut Soup with Bok Choy

By JuanitaH

Bok choy is the heart of this savory soup. I love bok choy. It is full of nutrients. Wonder where to get calcium? Bok choy has 110 mg per cup. It is also loaded with vitamins C, A and K, magnesium, potassium, manganese, and iron. And did I mention it tastes great?

For this recipe I used baby bok choy. It is tender and has a light sweetness to it. But I didn't just chop it up and throw it in the soup… I marinated it and tossed it in the dehydrator for a bit. It provided the perfect touch. Marinated mushrooms and a wonderful coconut broth combined with cumin, ginger, turmeric and the bok choy make a healthy soup perfect for this weather. I suggest warming the soup gently on the stove or in the dehydrator to take off the winter chill.

Ingredients

• 4 cups thinly sliced bok choy
• 6 tablespoons Braggs Liquid Aminos , divided
• 4 tablespoon sesame oil, divided
• 1 1/2 cup thinly sliced mushrooms

I am allergic to soy, so i have been using Coconut Secrets aminos in place of Braggs. It always turns out.
