This Asian inspired soup is just the thing for a light dinner or first course. If you love Egg Drop Soup, you will love this adaptation that combines the best of Egg Drop and Ginger Bok Choy. Only a few ingredients are needed, and since it does not require all day simmering you can throw it together after work. Stir in a beaten egg and rice noodles just before serving and it’s ready to eat!
This was quite a bit different than my usual soups, but the recipe is a keeper! So good for those chilly nights, or when you’re feeling under the weather.

4 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp. minced fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp. minced garlic
- 32 oz. gluten free chicken bone broth
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced thin
- 4 oz. gluten free rice noodles
- 1 baby Bok choy
- sesame oil
- olive oil
- gluten free tamari or coconut aminos
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten
- Chow Mein Noodles, for garnish (optional)
Preparation:
Heat 1 tsp. sesame oil and 1 tsp. olive oil in a soup pot or Dutch oven. Mince the garlic and ginger (I used an electric chopper) and add to the pot. Cook for 30 seconds then add the sliced mushrooms.

Stir until the mushrooms release their liquid, then add the bone broth, 2 tsp. of tamari and 1 tsp. sesame oil (or more, to taste). Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer for 15 minutes.

Trim away the tough, lower part of the Bok choy, then rinse and halve the leaves. Stir them into the soup to wilt and lower the heat to keep warm.
Cook the rice noodles in a separate pan according to package directions. Just prior to serving, drizzle the beaten egg into the soup and swirl it around with a whisk. Add the cooked rice noodles.
Ladle into bowls and serve with Chow Mein noodles for texture (optional), or a simple garnish of green onions if you want to keep it simple.

Notes ♪♫ I love these extra wide rice noodles from A Taste of Thai. I was able to find them locally, but if not available in your area you can get them here at Amazon. I use Coconut Aminos in my Asian recipes, but if you are not limiting salt, try Gluten Free Tamari.














Hash Brown Muffin Cups will be a great addition to your brunch menu, or a fun dinner side. They reheat well, and ours stayed crispy even after microwaving. You will want to keep a bag of hash browns in your freezer pantry, so you can make a batch any time you like!







Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices and press down with a spatula.












Serve the tartlets at room temperature or chilled. Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and powdered sugar.






Add the butter, eggs and milk/yeast mixture and mix together on low with the paddle attachment. It will look like wet pancake batter at this point. Increase the speed and beat for 5 minutes to form a sticky, soft dough.
Finally, add the rum-soaked raisins and their liquid, mixing for one more minute to incorporate.














Spread the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1″ border all around.




Bake for 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 200º. Remove from the oven and brush the top with 1 tbsp. melted butter.
Grasp both sides of the parchment to lift the loaf out of the pan to a cooling rack.
Slide the parchment out and let the loaf cool completely before slicing.
















Trim the excess (can be used to patch any cracks or holes), fold the edges under and crimp.
Because the filling is made with heavy, wet ingredients, you will need to blind bake (pre-bake) the crust for 10 minutes to keep it from getting soggy. Be sure to weigh down the crust down to keep the bottom from puffing up. You can cover the crust with parchment and use beans or
