This Gingery Vegetable Soup is a savory and nourishing dish perfect for cold seasons. Featuring a flavorful blend of chicken bone broth, shiitake mushrooms, savoy cabbage, and a spicy kick from fresh ginger and chili paste, it’s a comforting and easy-to-make soup topped with soft-boiled eggs and toasted sesame seeds.

Ingredients

Soup Base

  • 6 cups chicken bone broth
  • 6 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 bunch green onions, white and green parts separated, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chili paste (such as sambal oelek)
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce (optional)
  • 2 cups savoy cabbage, roughly chopped

Toppings

  • 2 soft-boiled eggs, halved
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare Soup Base: In a large pot, combine the chicken bone broth, sliced shiitake mushrooms, the white and light green parts of the green onions, grated ginger, finely chopped garlic, soy sauce, chili paste, and optional fish sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  2. Simmer Mushrooms: Reduce the heat to a simmer once boiling. Cover the pot and cook until the mushrooms become tender, about 8 minutes.
  3. Add Cabbage: Stir in the roughly chopped savoy cabbage. Continue cooking the soup until the cabbage is just tender, approximately 3 more minutes.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Divide the soup evenly among two bowls. Top each bowl with the halved soft-boiled eggs, the dark green parts of the green onions, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for flavor and crunch.

Notes

  • You can omit the fish sauce for a milder, less pungent flavor.
  • Adjust chili paste quantity to your preferred spice level.
  • Soft-boiled eggs add protein and richness but can be replaced with tofu for a vegetarian version.
  • This soup is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
  • Using chicken bone broth boosts the depth of flavor and adds nutrients.
