Yoga Soup

[Festus]

I believe this is the best soup I have ever eaten.  It is SUPERB!

Thanks for the recipe.

This soup is great, even on a hot night!  It's super fast and simple...and even my kids like it!  I doubled the recipe to feed us all and added carrot shreds since I only had 1 cup of fresh broccoli.  I only wish I could have found rice noodles rather than rice sticks--the noodles in the picture appear much more substantial and less like a mess of hair thin noodles in the middle of the soup.  Other than that this soup truly is fabulous and filling.  A new fave!

may be a weird question, but where does one find edamame? I want to make this soup - but I'm also kind of addicted to the steamed edamame at the local Japanese place...it'd be great to make it myself

This was great.  I made it into more of an appetizer soup (my husband said "it's all background") by leaving out the potstickers and using bean threads instead of heartier noodles.  We felt like it needed more spice (probably since I left out some of the flavor sources), so I increased the ginger and added black pepper and garlic powder, and lots of lime juice.  Of course, the Louisianian added red pepper flakes to his, but then declared "it tasted like a restaurant soup!" 

I'll definitely be making this again.  I think if we wanted to be the entire meal, I would go back to the rice sticks and also add some tofu or something.  I'll also probably put even more ginger, and maybe some garlic.  Mmm!

you can find frozen edamame (baby soy beans in the pod) at Asian food stores.  If you have a large chain grocery store with a good natural foods/ethnic foods section, they may have it too.  I get mine from a small, local grocery store or the local natural/health foods store.  Hope that helps!

I LOVE this soup - have had it for lunch three days in a row!!  I've tried different variations depending on what I had going in my fridge:  somen noodles, buckweat noodles, fresh green beans, napa cabbage, shiitake mushrooms (dried - I used the soaking water for the broth and it's wonderful!)...  I think the possibilities are endless!  Can't wait to try it with miso.

So simple but so tasty.  I think 2 cubes of broth was a bit too salty for me once I added the tamari but my 11 year old told me it tasted just like restaurant soup.  Considering that it took about 15 minutes, I was very excited.  Move over Ramen.....we will make this when we want a noodle soup.  I used fresh broccoli, added a clove of garlic and about 1 TB of fresh ginger chopped.  Yummy!!!!

This was wonderful!!  I have been looking for this recipe and did not even know it!!  It will be a staple in my diet from here on out!! So easy to change to what you want ...spicy...light...dark...fresh...YUM YUM YUM!  Thank you thank you thank you!

This was really good! My version was as follows:

I used boxed broth instead of boullion. Boullion would probably be saltier than the all-natural broth as I used; as a result, I added a lot of soy sauce to compensate.

I used fresh broccoli, and mustard greens (since they were the greens I had in).

I used the vegetarian version of these dumplings: http://www.ohanafood.com/products_ohana.html--which to the best of my knowledge are vegan. When I make this again I will probably skip the potstickers--they are good, but expensive, and I don't get the point of them and the noodles.

I added thin slices of a good chunk of ginger and some red pepper. Some sesame oil would have been delicious, but I was out.

I used rice vermicelli (the really thin ones), and thought it was delicious.

I have made this so many times now and it is really great.  There is no messing it up.  Tonight I had no greens (fresh or frozen) so I added about a 1/4 of a bag of cole slaw mix- shredded cabbage and carrots- and it worked great.  Adding some miso was a nice touch too.

This soup is great!  It's filling, easy to make and very flexible (and forgiving)! I omit things, add things, it's wonderful. I just eyeball everything now and add things to taste.  When it comes to noodles, though, I'm completely inept and yet continue to eyeball it every time - I've ended up with waaaay too many noodles and no "soup" but it's still great!

This looks amazing. I can not wait to try it. Ill let ya know what I think when I give it a try next week.

we love this soup! we made it the first time without the potstickers and no fresh ginger and it was good, but seemed to be missing something. made this again last night with the potstickers and fresh ginger and it was AMAZING!!!! the fresh ginger added a really nice fresh taste as well as a certain depth (i think it helped cut the salt of the shoyu sauce). the potstickers helped make it a more filling soup as well.

make this! you won't regret it.

All I needed was sesame oil and this soup would have been superb!!!! I sauted green onions and ginger before adding the broth and other ingredients. This was so refreshing.... I didn't have edamame or greens, so I used snap peas & fresh broccoli (of which I overcooked)... but the soup was still great!! Next time I will use bok choy, edamame, and sesame oil.

Thanks for this recipe!!!
