This soup is the best in summer, but if you have a good grocery store, many of these vegetables are fresh year round. This soup will cure any cold! Ingredients:
ingredients are subject to what is in season. |
orange juice - one litre |
vegetable or chicken stock - one litre |
baby bok choy - about 5 cups shredded |
carrots - 2 cups match-stick |
bean sprouts - 2 cups |
snow or sugar snap peas - handful sliced thin diagonally |
zuchinni or summer squash - sliced thinly into half moons |
bamboo shoots - one small tin sliced in matchsticks |
baby canned corn - one large tin |
water chestnuts - one small tin sliced thinly |
green onion - 3-4 entire stalks |
fresh ginger root - peeled, about 2 inches, either sliced thinly or grated |
soy sauce - about 1/4 or to taste, depending on salt preference. |
soba noodles - one finger-sized amount of dry soba noodles per person is usually enough. (more or less for preference!) |
Directions:
1. Put all your orange juice, stock, and ginger in your soup pot, and put on medium heat.
2. Prep all your vegetables while your stock is slowly warming up, wash and slice so everything is matchstick size. If you are lucky, your grocery store will have products ready-sliced for you, such as the carrots, bamboo shoots, etc. The green onions can be sliced smaller for less 'bite'.
3. Place all your vegetables in the soup pot at once, bring the temperature up to medium-high, and let simmer for about 10 minutes until vegetables are still crunchy, but becoming tender. Do NOT let the soup come to a boil and do not overcook, your bok choy can't handle it and will go greyish.
4. Meanwhile, boil your soba noodles seperately, they will only take a few minutes to become el dente.
5. Add soy sauce to your soup to your taste preference (or put it out on the table for the diners to add to their own bowls).
6. Place soba noodles in bottom of serving bowls, and ladle hot soup over noodles, and presto! Serve with a spoon AND fork!
