  • 2 tbsp no chicken base bouillon broth
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 splash oil for sauteing

Equipment

  • 1 pot

Method
 

  1. Chop ½ onion, 1 carrot, 1 celery, 3 cloves garlic, and 2 medium bok choy.
  2. In a large pot over medium high heat, add 1 splash oil. Saute the onion, carrot, and celery for a couple minutes.
  3. Add the garlic, bok choy ends (the white part), 6 stems thyme and 1 stem sage*. Saute for a few more minutes, until aromatic.
  4. Add 6 cups water and 2 tbsp no chicken base. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Add 1 can cannelini beans and the rest of the bok choy (the leafy green tops) and continue to cook on a low simmer covered for 10 minutes.
  6. Remove thyme and sage using tongs. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

* Some people tie the herbs together to make a garnished bouquet (known as a bouquet garni in French), making it easier to remove after.
