Healthy Shitake Mushroom and Noodle Soup Recipe

 

I am not sure how I came up with this soup. I started with a really simple recipe I found on the back of the udon noodle package one day, but then it just turned into something entirely different each time I made it. At the time, and even now, I had been really enjoying cooking Asian cuisine. I also made it for some friends one night, who fell in love with it, and my friend’s husband said he never likes spicy soups but enjoyed this a lot! You can totally adjust the spice to how you like it too and it still tastes great. It’s really good for you, has a whole ton of veggies, even cabbage and also has protein. It’s really filling to eat alone, or you can always pair it with a salad. This recipe took a lot of care in putting together since I had to remember each random thing I tried that worked and became the masterpiece it is now:) Hope you and your family like it just as much!
