Garlic & Ginger Bok Choy Soup

One of the best things for making the cold weather in Chicago bearable is a hearty, steaming bowl of hot soup. This recipe is perfect for the cold weather. It features pearl onions, bok choy, mushrooms, garlic, ginger, and tofu. The secret to making this soup taste so great is the star anise seed. Star anise is a Chinese and Vietnamese spice that creates a sweet, yet spicy, licorice flavor in any dish. It is perfect in this Asian-inspired recipe and one of my favorite winter-time ingredients.
