Happy International Soup Day! On April 5th each year, we get to appreciate and share a global love for soups. From the many health benefits of a full, hearty bowl of chicken noodle soup to the cultural experience of this salty, flavor packed miso there is a soup for every soul! We make all kinds of soup here at The Roost but I wanted to share my latest recipe with you all.
Ingredients:
2-3 tbsp sesame oil
6 oz mushrooms cleaned and sliced
4 scallions white and green part separated and chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
1 tsp grated ginger
6 c turkey stock
2 c Napa cabbage sliced
1 lb udon noodles
2 tbsp miso paste
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sriracha sauce
1 c frozen edamame shelled
Sesame seeds for garnish
Directions:
- Coat the bottom of a large pot with the oil and cook over medium heat.
When is it hot add the mushrooms in an even layer. Cook the mushrooms for about 5 minutes, flipping once, until browned. - Add the white bottoms of the scallions, garlic, and ginger. Cook everything for about 1 minute.
- Stir in the stock and Napa cabbage.
- Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer the soup for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and the cabbage is wilted.
- While the soup simmers, cook the noodles according to their package directions.
- Drain them into a colander and rinse under cold water when done.
- After the soup has simmered for 10 minutes, ladle a bit of the liquid into a small bowl and add the miso paste.
- Stir to dissolve the miso.
- Pour the miso mixture back into the soup and stir in the soy sauce, sriracha sauce, followed by the cooked noodles and edamame and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the green scallions tops and sesame seeds.
Notes:
Servings: 4-6 people depending on bowl size
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Other: This is a quick soup to make. You can substitute kale or spinach for your cabbage. Go meatless with veggie stock. Can’t find udon noodles, try ramen, egg or rice noodles (follow cooking instructions on the back). I found Miso paste and Sriracha in the international or Asian section of our grocery store. If you like a little more heat, add as much Sriracha as you would like.
Enjoy~
