Featured Bowery Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

- 1 jalapeno, sliced
- 2 quarts chicken stock
- ¾ teaspoon salt

Make it Vegetarian
To make this a vegetarian dish, simply swap the chicken stock for vegetable stock.
Recipe Preparation
- Heat a large soup pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Drizzle in a glug of olive oil and sauté shallots, garlic, lemon slices and jalapeño until just fragrant but not brown, about 2 minutes.
- Add stock and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and add bok choy, stirring until just wilted. Add scallions and mint.
- Serve immediately with poached egg and a drizzle of olive oil or cool and store for up to 1 week.
- Note: You can easily substitute the egg for shredded rotisserie chicken or omit it completely.
