Asian Noodle Soup with a Myriad of Mushrooms and Lots of Scallions

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Prepare the broth according to the recipe.

   Step 2

   Heat the oil in a soup pot, then add the garlic and white parts of the scallions and sauté over medium-low heat for 2 or 3 minutes.

   Step 3

   Add the broth, green parts of the scallions, fresh mushrooms, canned mushrooms with liquid, water chestnuts with liquid, and rice vinegar. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes.

   Step 4

   Dissolve the cornstarch in just enough water to make it pourable, and stir into the soup. Break up the rice-stick noodles and add them to the soup. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente.

   Step 5

   Season with soy sauce and pepper, and adjust the consistency with water if the soup is too dense. Serve at once.
