White Bean Soup with Meatballs and Bok Choy
- 1 large head bok choy
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 (15.5-ounce) cans low-sodium cannellini beans
- Around 25 meatballs (from Spaghetti and Meatballs with Grape Tomatoes recipe)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill

- 1. Halve the bok choy. Thinly slice stalk and place pieces in bowl. Then slice leaves into 1-inch pieces and reserve in separate bowl. Fill bowls with water to soak and clean bok choy; drain.
- 2. In large, heavy-duty pot, warm oil over medium-high heat. Add bok choy stalk pieces and cook until soft, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add bok choy leaves and garlic, stirring to combine until leaves are wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- 3. Stir in ground ginger and chicken broth; add cannellini beans and meatballs. Increase heat to high and bring to boil. Cover with lid, reduce heat to low, and cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat and garnish with dill and scallions.
