Bok Choy Soup **WARNING** SPICY!!! But ohhh, so good!

I bought some Bok Choy at the grocery store the other day. It always looks so appealing, I decided to give it a try. Not really knowing what to do with it, I looked at several recipes on the internet. I decided to combine a few ideas and ultimately created this soup. I used the rest of the leftover Thanksgiving turkey, what a relief that was! Allrecipes seriously needs to add this one!

Ingredients:
4 cups Chicken Broth
1/3 cup Soy Sauce
1/4 cup Sugar
3Tbs Ginger
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 Tbs Sesame Oil
2 Tbs Sriracha Sauce
White part of 4 scallions, chopped
**WHISK All of these ingredients together in a mixing bowl**

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbs Ginger
3 Tbs Red Pepper Flakes
Salt + Pepper
Bok Choy, cut up into sticks, roughly 3 inches
Carrots, cut up into matching sticks
**In soup pan, heat 3 Tbs peanut oil, add the above ingredients and cook for roughly 5 minutes, until smells begin to awaken your senses.

*Pour broth mixture into soup pan, stir well. Cover and bring to a boil. Add in left over Turkey if you have it (That's what I did). But any meat would work--cooked chicken, pork, shrimp... Then simmer for about 20 minutes.

**Bring another pot of water to a boil. Add Rice Noodles and remove from heat.

To serve, add a ladle of noodles and cover with soup. You could garnish with lime, cilantro, or chopped peanuts.



This would be an incredibly easy soup to make vegetarian. Use veggie broth, omit turkey, add tofu or not. But YUMMMMM!!!
