This Asian Inspired Soup is made with garlic, ginger, mushrooms, wakame, noodles, some vegetables and bok choy. It's a really simple wholesome bowl of soup that anyone can make and should! There is something both wholesome and soulful about a bowl of soup and this is no different.
Rinse the dried wakame under cold running water and leave it in a bowl of water while you cook the onions.
Meanwhile heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large Dutch oven or any large pot and cook the onion, garlic and ginger for a minute or 2. Add the carrots and celery with a pinch of salt. Mix and leave to cook on medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes with an occassional stir to prevent them from burning.
Add the vegetable stock and the dried wakame which has now increased in volumn. Drop the heat and allow the soup to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
Add the soy sauce, mushrooms, noodles, bok choy and spinach. Simmer for roughly 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve in bowls with a small bunch of fresh parsley, sesame seeds and a sprinkle of chili flakes.
