What is the best thing about this soba noodle soup? It's a one-pot recipe!. I prepared this soup using lots of fresh vegetables such as bok choy, mushrooms, peppers, carrot, celery etc., It hardly takes 30 min to prepare if all ingredients are handy.
What I love about this soup are the shrimp and mushrooms. Yes! I am a big fan of both.
We enjoyed it so much that, I made this soup at least 5-6 times in the last couple of weeks before making it for this post.
I am sure, this Asian soba noodle soup will give you one more option to fight cold winter nights. Or, you can also consider this whole grain-based Healthy Barley Soup as an alternative.

This is the second recipe of yours that I have read back to back, and now I'm starving. I have looked for soba at our closest grocery store but I have not found them, since I am gluten free I would love to have soba noodles in my pantry at all times. In fact I think I'm going to venture out to find the soba noodles and add all the other ingredients to my cart too. This soup looks and sounds right up my alley! Yum!
Thank you Nikki for stopping by. I hope you will find soba noodles and will enjoy this soup.
