Free Healthy Recipe - Shiitake and Buckwheat Soup

Dairy free, Low fat, Low sugar

This soup may look like it mightn't be hearty enough to warm you up but don't be fooled. Buckwheat is like an internal heater raising your body temperature soon after consumption. Shiitake mushrooms are wonderful to stimulate the appetite lost through acute stress or ill health. Altogether this soup is so easy to digest and perfect for anyone who is emotionally or physically sensitive and needs building up.

Ingredients
½ cup buckwheat
3 tbsp tamari
1 3cm piece ginger, peeled
3 tbsp mirin
1 carrot julienned
4 spring onion finely chopped
½ bunch coriander, chopped
Method

Cover shiitake in a bowl with 2 cups hot water. Let stand for 20 minutes.

Add the soaking water to a saucepan with 6 cups water, buckwheat, 2 whole spring onions, ginger, star anise, mirin and tamari. Bring to the boil slowly and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the carrots and sliced shiitake (stems removed) and cook for a further 15 minutes. Remove ginger, shallots and star anise. Place into serving bowls and add 1 tsp chopped coriander and 1 tsp chopped shallots. Serve.

Note: Buckwheat can be substituted for buckwheat noodles if preferred and added in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
