Asian Vegetable Soup

"This is one of my newly adopted recipes. I have not yet tried it, but have created concoctions similar to this on my own many times. This is an add/delete, feel-free-to-improvise kind of recipe. When I've made things like this in the past, I treated it as a "clean out the fridge" experiment. I would think that shrimp, scallops or other fish or even chicken would work well in this (I've used shrimp and scallops in my own versions of this kind of recipe)."

directions

  • Place 1/2 cup of the vegetable stock in a Dutch oven or 3 1/2 - 5 qt saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Add onion, garlic, and gignger; simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Stir in remaining stock and soy sauce.
  • Cover pot and bring to a gentle boil.
  • Add remaining ingredients.
  • Test for doneness: noodles should be softened; vegetables should remain crisp/tender.
  • Timing - about 8 minutes.
  • Top each serving with one of the garnishes.
  • VARIATIONS: - substitute 1 c cooked brown rice for the buckwheat noodles peppers, chopped water chestnut, chopped jicama root, shredded spinach, chopped celery, or bamboo shoots.
  • EGG THREADS:

  • In a small skillet, heat a little margarine.
  • When it begins to bubble, add 1 egg beaten with a little cold water.
  • Tilt the pan so the yolk mixture coats it in a thin layer, the thinner the better.
  • When the egg is lightly cooked, turn it out onto a cutting board.
  • Slice it into very thin strips with a sharp knife. (makes about 1/3 cup).

  1. This was a very good soup. I made this using one of the listed variations, using brown rice instead of the soba noodles as this is what I had on hand. Thank you Spatchcock for sharing the recipe.
     
  2. This is just the soup I have been looking for. It is simple, but the flavor is wonderful!
     
  3. 6 stars if I could! I loved this soup, ALL the veggies, the buckwheat (my fav) and the wonderful flavor. Thanks to whoever first posted and thanks Spatchcock for adopting.
     
  4. This is Absolutely Wonderful! We absolutely inhaled this soup. My son is now "firmly" in the Tofu camp!! If you haven't ever had Tofu try it in this soup!!! I think it is an absolute must to press the tofu before adding to the dish. The only thing I left out was the watercress because I couldn't find it
