Comfort food redefined! This noodle bowl, ready in about 30 minutes, is a Japanese-inspired delight that may become your favorite chicken noodle soup. Rich in flavor, the broth is fortified with tender chicken, shiitake mushroom umami, briny soy sauce and a calming ginger presence. Each bowl is veggie-packed with spinach, snow peas, scallions and peas the pop against the earthy colors of the broth and noodles. The generous six-portion yield, makes this a great recipe for entertaining. Soba noodles are quick and easy to cook, and have a unique nutty flavor from the buckwheat from which they are made. Most supermarkets carry these thin noodles in their international isle. If yours does not, try a health food store or Asian market.
