This soup tastes like it's been simmering on the stovetop for hours, but all you need is 45 minutes to get it on the table. It features a ton of different kinds of vegetables, from mushrooms to water chestnuts, bok choy, carrots, snow peas, and scallions. They're flavored with an irresistible combination of ginger, garlic, chicken broth, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sambal oelek. Add more or less hot sauce depending on how much heat you and your guests can handle. You can also use whatever veggies you have on hand, from spinach to kale and celery, if you're looking to use some things up.
