Green-leaf soup

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

6 cups light chicken or vegetable stock
4 large spring onions, sliced into sections
1 stick celery, sliced into short lengths
1 x 4 cm piece ginger, sliced
2 T caster sugar
salt
2 good handfuls of sliced Asian cabbage leaves (such as bok choy)

Method

Heat the stock in a large pan, then add the white parts of the spring onion, as well as the celery, ginger, sugar and salt, to taste.
Bring to a boil, then gently simmer for 20 minutes. Pass through a sieve, reserving the liquid and discarding the sieved remains. Add the Asian greens and boil for 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Cook’s notes: The broth and greens can be served separately or, for a main-course soup, ladled onto pork noodles. Prawns can also be added.

TASTE’s take:
Leaf soups are the lightest of broths, providing a spot-on counterbalance to rich foods, as well as a delightful way to eat veggies.
