Instructions

Gather and prepare all ingredients before cooking.
In a large stockpot over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add mushrooms, chopped bok choy, green onions, garlic, and ginger. Drizzle with lime juice and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring gently, until fragrant and lightly softened.
Increase heat to medium-high and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, until vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro and extra bok choy leaves before serving.

Notes

You can use a mix of mushrooms, including portobello or shiitake.

For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth.

Simmer briefly to prevent the bok choy from overcooking.

Cooked noodles or rice can be added to make the soup more filling.
