This delicate garlic- and ginger-infused soup is a meal in a bowl. It's got everything that you could possibly wish for in a comforting, warm, satisfying soup. It's chock-full of shiitake mushrooms, whole-wheat spaghetti, carrots, snow peas, corn, tofu, and sliced scallions. Really, the perfect combination of color, texture, and healthy veggies. The best part is you only need one large saucepan to make it, so cleanup will take mere minutes. Feel free to use vegetable broth if you want to make this dish vegetarian. Also, for the best possible outcome for this recipe, simmer just until the vegetables are crisp-tender, not soggy.
