• Serves: 3

ingredients

• 2 ounces bean thread noodles
• 3 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms or 3 ounces button mushrooms
• 2 teaspoons canola oil
• 3 scallions, thinly sliced with white and green parts
• 1 small carrot, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced on diagonal
• 1 cup shelled frozen edamame
• 5 ounces Baby Spinach
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 4 -6 tablespoons dark miso
• 1⁄4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• tamari soy sauce (optional)

directions

1. Put noodles in a bowl with water to cover, and set aside.
2. Trim mushrooms, and wipe off grit with a damp cloth. Snap off stems, and chop finely. Slice caps thinly, and set aside.
3. Heat oil in a soup pot. Add scallion whites, mushrooms and carrot, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until mushrooms begin to soften, for about 2 minutes.
4. Add 5 cups water, and bring to a boil. Add edamame, and cook for 4 minutes. Drain noodles, and add to pot with spinach and ginger.
5. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until edamame are tender but still firm, for about 1 minute more. Stir in scallion greens.
6. Blend 4 tablespoons miso into 1 cup warm water, using a fork to mix. Reduce heat to low, and stir miso into soup, adding more miso for a more intense flavor, if desired.
7. Add sesame oil and tamari to taste. Serve hot.

OMG! THis is really good! So very tiny changes...used regular sessame oi, and regular spinach. I topped the soup with the scallion greens instead of mixing in. Will be making this again...and again.
