Udon Soup

This is a 15 minute recipe. It is hot, savory, and filling udon soup that has a lot of good flavors. I am a little squeamish with mushrooms, otherwise I would try those straw mushrooms, but I just use baby portabellas.

This recipe is good for 1 person for dinner, 2-3 as an appetizer or soup course, and takes about 15 minutes from start to finish. 

1 t sesame oil
about 6 mushrooms, sliced
2 spring onions, white parts sliced thinly, green parts sliced about 1/2" long
A few ounces of tofu, diced into 1/4" cubes 
2 C low sodium vegetable broth
1 C water
1 package udon with seasoning. Read labels to make sure your brand is vegan.  
1-2 T soy sauce, to taste.

In a sauce pan over medium heat, fry the mushrooms and the white parts of the onion in the sesame oil until the mushrooms are colored and softened. Add the green parts of the onions, the tofu, the udon noodles and the water, vegetable broth and 1/2 packet of the seasoning. Let cook until the noodles are done. Taste and season with soy sauce.
