Posted by Gypsy on Monday, October 9, 2006 at 4:21 pm
Last night I dediced to throw something together for dinner using a bunch of the vegetables and various other things we’ve had sitting around for a little while, and I came up with a Vegetable Udon Soup Recipe. The best soups are created when the goal is to use up lots of leftovers and things that have been sitting around for a while, and that exactly how this soup came about. Both Chrys and I thought it turned out great and really enjoyed it. If you give it a shot, I hope you enjoy it too.
Vegetable Udon Soup

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- Stir thoroughly, simmer for 1 minute and serve.
Information:

Experiement with different vegetables, stocks/broths, noodles or even add meat/seafood for a heartier soup. If serving this soup as a meal, a piece of toasted rye bread makes for a great accompaniment.

thanks for the great recipe! i have never cooked with udon noodles before so i was a little nervous, but it turned out great. i halved the recipe for just 2 of us and we still had leftovers. it needs a little bit more flavor for my taste, so next time we will add some more seasonings… but your base recipe was perfect. thanks again!

I made you soup last night exactly following your recipe, but I added some shrimp from Celebrity Foods that I had in the freezer. It came out wonderful. Next time I think I will add some fish also.

Thank you so much for the recipe! It was great! I changed some of the veggies (just because of what I had on hand. I added zucchini, sugar snap peas, and bean sprouts (which I added when I added the parsely). I did not put in cabbage (didn’t have any). I also add a little lemon to my soup once in the bowl.
It was amazing!

I made this tonight because I was really craving udon soup. I added some new ingredients: nappa cabbage, silken tofu and sliced crimini mushrooms sauteed in a little sesame oil and low sodium soysauce. I also used fresh ginger instead of powder. Also, no green onion or parsley and white pepper and sesame oil instead. It came out great and I look forward to making it again
