Marmie's Delicious Asain Flavor, Low Cal, Low Fat Vegetable Soup image

Amazingly delicious, low calorie, low fat, somewhat spicy, oriental flavor diet soup! A really nice change from the tomatoe based diet soups. This makes a huge dutch oven full. I like to eat it all week when ever I am hungry as a snack, for lunch or before dinner as a low calorie nutrishious fil-me- upper. (To further reduce sodium I would suggest home made chicken or vegetable stock and reduce the soya a bit. It does change the flavor some but would reduce sodium if that were a concern.) A person could also add a few rice noodles and shrimp or fish or chicken for a balanced meal. What would be easier than that?!

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup ginger, fresh chopped
1/4 cup garlic, fresh chopped
1 cup mushroom, fresh sliced
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar, japanese
2 tablespoons sugar, white granulated
1 1/4 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoots, drained

12 ounces spinach, fresh chopped

Steps:

  • Saute first 4 ingredients together for 5 min, add mushrooms for another few min untill almost tender.

  • Chop spinach and set aside.
  • Mix water and corn starch in a seperate bowl or cup untill smooth.
  • Replace pot on stove, add water & cornstarch mixture to soya and bamboo mixture, cook till somewhat thickened.
  • Slowly add chicken stock and bring to boil.

  • Add spinach and simmer untill spinach is just wilted.
  • Enjoy your guilt free soup!
