MMmhhhhmm, nothing soothes my soul like warm miso chicken soup! Bok choy is an amazing source of quercetin [1]—a plant compound that literally “freezes” breast cancer cells. It works on multiple fronts so that cancer cells never even have a chance to form a tumor. Sip in calm and fiercely kill off cancer cells all at the same time! It’s the perfect lunch on a cold day, so double up this recipe for leftovers all week long.
