Ginger lime soup with soba noodles
Monday, April 05, 2010If you over-indulged in chocolate bunnies over the weekend, this soup is a nice way to get back on track. It is light, healthy, and full of flavor. For extra protein, I serve it over soba noodles- they are made from buckwheat flour and contain 8 grams of protein per serving.
Ginger Lime Soup
Serves 4-6
2 Tbsp olive oil
4 yams, peel and cubed
1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
3 green onions, chopped
1 inch of fresh ginger, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
juice of 3 limes
4 cups vegetable broth
2 cups water
2 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- Heat olive oil over medium heat and add yams and shiitake mushrooms. Stir fry until tender but not mushy.
- Add green onions, ginger, and garlic and cool for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add broth, water, soy sauce, and lime juice. Bring to a bowl then lower the temperature and simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Add spinach, cilantro, and sesame oil. Serve soup over cooked soba noodles.
