FUN FACT! The name “Bok Choy” originates from the Chinese word for ‘soup spoon’ because of the shape of its leaves. It is closely related to cabbage and looks like Romaine lettuce on top and celery on the bottom.
This green leafy vegetable is not only the definition of ‘yum in my tum’ but is also known for its huge medicinal benefits. It is super high in Vitamin A and C.
One cup of Bokchoy soup can provide up to 140 percent of your RDA of vitamin A and over 75 percent of vitamin C. This soupy delight is a power house of antioxidants, phytonutrients, calcium, iron and manganese. If you want to go crazy fancy with my simple recipe, throw in some Shiitake Mushrooms and Portobello for more vitamins and fiber.
