Buckwheat Soba Soup (Thursday, July 14, 2011)

This is a simple and healthy thing to make when you have lots of fresh produce and not much time. I boiled some noodles (Buckwheat Soba) and rinsed them in cold water.  The base of the broth was beef stock, water, mirin and memmi (a liquid soup base).  Beef stock by itself would be fine.  In the broth I also added garlic, lemongrass and ginger.  I put herbs, vegetables and noodles in a bowl and poured the broth over it, straining out the garlic, lemongrass and ginger.  This particular soup has lemon basil, Vietnamese cilantro, mint, carrots, banana pepper and mixed greens all from my garden.  Simple.  Healthy. Refreshing. Filling.
