Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium heads bok choy
2 peppers serrano peppers
2 medium jalapeno peppers
2 peppers Anaheim chile peppers
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, or to taste
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, diced
1 medium onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 (32 fluid ounce) containers vegetable broth
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Separate the white and green parts of the bok choy. Cut the white parts into thin, bite-sized pieces. Cut the green parts into longer strips.
Slice serrano, jalapeno, and Anaheim chile peppers into thin rounds or bite-sized pieces, depending on size (you can do this while mirepoix is cooking).
Add enough sesame oil to a large soup pot to coat the bottom. Add garlic and cook over low heat until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add diced mirepoix (carrots, onion, and celery) and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 10 minutes.
Add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Add all chile peppers, chopped onion, and white parts of bok choy and cover. Lower heat and simmer until peppers are tender and flavors have blended, 15 to 20 minutes.
Reduce heat to low. Add green onions and green parts of bok choy. Cook and stir until bok choy is wilted and soft, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.
