Soba Noodle–Mushroom Soup

Simply amazing! This five ingredient recipe proves that using the right ingredients can save tons of time and still yield loads of flavor. Ready in 20 minutes, the recipe also boasts six servings. The spare ingredients, inspired by Japanese noodle bowls, create layers of flavors and texture that come together in this super clean dish. The quick-cooking soba noodles add an earthy-nutty flavor and a filling element. Fresh spinach brings bright color and that good green flavor, while shiitake mushrooms impart a savory and almost butter flavor into the broth and a tender texture among the vegetables. White miso, made from soy beans fermented with rice, lends a unique flavor that is mildly sweet. Serve these as an appetizer for a larger meal or enjoy as a light lunch.
