Clean Soba Noodle Soup

This soup is filled with hearty ingredients and healthy veggies, making it the perfect dish for a cold night.

Servings: 4

What you’ll need:

• 8 ounces soba noodles or spaghetti

• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth or veggie broth

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 cup chopped mushrooms, any kind 

• 4 scallions, chopped 

• Optional: 2 hard-boiled eggs 

Directions:

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook until the noodles are cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. If you're using spaghetti, follow the instructions on the package.

2. Strain through a medium mesh sieve and rinse the noodles under cold running water for 1 minute.

3. Make the broth: Bring the chicken broth and soy sauce to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 3 minutes, then add the mushrooms and simmer until they’re tender, about 5 minutes. Add 3/4 of the scallions and simmer until soft, about 1 minute.

4. Divide the noodles among 4 bowls and pour the soup over the noodles.

5. Serve each bowl with a hard boiled egg half and the rest of the scallions.
