Konnichiwa, gourmets! Today we are sharing a recipe for Japanese cuisine – low-calorie mushroom soup with daikon and mushrooms. This soup contains only vegetables – ideal for vegans and vegetarians! The soup contains daikon, root celery (not stem), mushrooms (woody and shiitake) and broth. Japanese soup is very low in calories! The crispy daikon transforms into a soft texture during cooking. The taste of root celery is less pronounced than stem celery, so the soup will not have such a sharp taste and smell as it may initially seem. If desired, you can add tofu! This soup is stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. If desired, the soup can be frozen for up to three months.
We used chicken broth to make this soup, but you can use vegetable broth or just water. The soup has a light texture and does not cause a feeling of heaviness, even on the contrary – what you ate – what you listened to the radio.
We took dried Chinese woody mushrooms, shiitake bought frozen ones, since fresh ones are not available in the region. If you use dried shiitake, pre-soak them in boiling water for 20 minutes. Daikon is the most ordinary, you can replace it with ordinary radish. Fresh coriander leaves and green onions are made from greens.
