Spicy Ginger Soup
3 cups vegetable broth
1 cup uncooked shell pasta
4 medium-size mushrooms (chopped)
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 cup frozen peas
2 teaspoons powdered ginger
2 teaspoons powdered cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon powdered garlic (or 2 cloves finely chopped fresh garlic)
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
pinch of sesame seeds
pinch of black pepper
Heat the vegetable broth in a pot. Add noodles and bring to a boil.
While boiling, add the ginger, cayenne, garlic, black pepper, and sesame seeds.
When the noodles are softened but not fully cooked, reduce the heat and add the onions, peas, and mushrooms.
Cover the pot and let sit for four minutes. Uncover, add lemon juice, stir, and let sit a couple more minutes.
Reduce the cayenne pepper and ginger if you don't like spicy.
I make this when I'm sick--guaranteed to clear the sinuses.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
I got this recipe from http://www.recipepuppy.com (input your ingredients and it outputs receipes)
I like it spicy so I used a serrano instead of cayenne pepper and an inch of fresh ginger, 3 cloves of garlic. Also another cup of broth and used a dash of sesame oil instead of seeds. Turned out pretty delicious, garlic, ginger and spice. Definitely more of a goulash than a soup but overall good. Thanks!
