    Even summertime is the perfect time to satisfy your soul with a piping hot bowl of chicken broth based soup. This delightful Asian style soup is a “must try.” It has the most amazing tasting broth that’s really addictive. We loved it so much we actually made it a few times in the same week. You might even want to double the recipe and freeze some. With the addition of chicken and noodles it becomes a satisfying main course. Gather all the ingredients and prep everything first, then this soup will come together very quickly.

      Shopping Tip
      Fresh shiitake mushrooms can be found in most supermarkets. We found our at Trader Joe’s. If you can’t find them use another type that you like.

      Most supermarkets sell Japanese Soba noodles. They can be found in the Asian section or use whole wheat spaghetti for this recipe.

      Chopped or crushed ginger, in a jar, can be found in the produce section near garlic, in a jar.
