It’s officially soup season! This Asian Zoodle Soup is absolutely delicious. The soul of this soup is the dehydrated mushroom stock that gives it a flavour boost.
If you wish you can replace the zoodles for rice pasta or even wheat pasta or mix half zoodles and half other pasta. The yummy thing about zucchini is that even when cooked it keeps a nice pasta-like texture. You can do the same thing with other veggies like carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, etc.
To make the zoodles I used the KitchenAid Spiralizer Attachment with Peel, Core & Slice. It’s really good because you only need to attach the veggies in the Attachment and then turn on the mixer. That’s it! The spiralized veggies fall down onto your bowl. A real wonder when compared to other spiralizing tools.
The taste in this soup depends in great measure of the stock that we make to cook the veggies. It only takes one hour to make and you don’t even have to take care of it closely either; it can just be cooking out as you shower. The dehydrated mushrooms add a concentrated flavour that’s extremely yummy with the other ingredients.
