Quick and easy vegetarian soba soup comes together in just 30 minutes. Vegan, vegetarian and filled with umami flavor - this Japanese soup is filled with mushrooms and greens.
Ingredients
  • 32 ounces vegetable stock
  • 3 ounces soba noodles (I used spelt soba noodles)
  • 1 bunch swiss chard or bok choy, washed and cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 6-oz package cremini mushrooms (also known as baby bella mushrooms), washed and sliced into ½ inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon of ginger, grated
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
  1. Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium low heat for 2-3 minutes.
  2. While the oil is heating, pat your mushroom slices dry then add them to the pot.
  3. Gently saute the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes while occasionally stirring.
  4. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic and stir until combined and fragrant.
  5. Add the soy sauce and stir to make sure nothing is stuck to the bottom of the pan. If you want a little spicy kick, add the red pepper flakes (or hot sauce of choice, like sriracha) now.
  6. Add the vegetable stock then cover the pot and allow the soup to come to a simmer.
  7. Once the soup is simmering, add the chard and soba noodles.
  8. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
  9. Serve into bowls and garnish with sesame seeds just before eating.
