Step 1

Preparing spinach for cooking - Trim off the roots and the tougher bottom parts of the stem. The younger, tender stems are fine to use. Roughly tear or chop them into smaller pieces, around 2-3 inches in length. Rinse well before use.

Step 2

Heat up a tablespoon or so of neutral tasting oil in a Dutch oven/soup pot. Once pot is heated, place in garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Next, add in vegetable broth and goji berries. Bring mixture to a boil, then lower heat to a gentle simmer. Cook, covered for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in spinach and cook until they have wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Lastly, add in shaoxing wine and half of the soy sauce. Give it a taste and add more soy sauce, if needed. Serve your Chinese spinach soup while warm!
