    Ingredients

    • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
    • 4 scallions, white parts halved lengthwise and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces, green parts thinly sliced for garnish (optional)
    • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into matchsticks
    • 1 garlic clove, smashed and peeled
    • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
    • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
    • Stir-ins (optional), such as thinly sliced meat and vegetables, seafood, or noodles
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice

    1. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add scallion whites, ginger, and garlic; cook, stirring, until scallions begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add broth and fish sauce.
