This delicious Asian-inspired soup is easy to prepare and full of flavor and texture. The fragrant broth is flavored with the warm umami of shiitake mushrooms, zing of fresh ginger and garlic, and salty goodness of soy sauce. Together those ingredients product a rich broth, perfect for the shrimp, snow peas, carrots and soba noodles. Soba noodles are a Japanese noodle made from buckwheat flour. Tender and tasty with a nutty bite, soba pairs beautifully with this dish. Look for soba in the Asian-foods section of most supermarkets or try this with rice-based noodles, also located in that section.
