"I loooooove this soup! As a college student it's great for me because I make the broth and keep the cooked noodles and green onions separate. Then I'm able to make the soup on Sunday nights and assemble it whenever I want! Satisfies my Ramen cravings without the guilty feelings of eating ingredients I can't pronounce."

Serves:: 4

ingredients

one 12-ounce package fresh udon noodles (or substitute with dry pasta or noodles)
4 cups chicken or 4 cups vegetable stock
¹⁄₂ cup thinly sliced carrot
¹⁄₂ cup snow peas, sliced on the diagonal
¹⁄₂ cup fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons white miso (shiro miso)
¹⁄₂ cup green onion

directions

Cook the udon noodles according to the package directions, drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan, bring the stock to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and add the carrots and cook until the carrots are crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the snow peas and cook until slightly tender but still bright green, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, cook for 30 seconds and remove from the heat.
Spoon the miso in a medium bowl and add a ladleful of hot broth. Whisk until the miso is completely dissolved, then pour the entire miso mixture into the pot with the soup. Do not boil the soup with the miso, as the miso will become gritty. Stir in the noodles and the green onions.
