Oyster Mushroom Soup
I decided a soup was in order. Just last weekend it was sunny spring and suddenly it's transformed into rainy days here.
Good thing I adore rainy days.
They give me an excuse to make soups like these. Noodles, tofu, cilantro, garlic, scallion and, of course, oyster mushrooms make this dish a filling one. My preference for soups I can chew should come across in this recipe. Don't get me wrong, a smooth pureed soup is nice as well. I think I have a need for some texture though. It feels like I don't get full without chewing a little, you know?
Here's to hoping it stays rainy this weekend so I can sit home, eat soup, watch movies and do those pesky taxes that have been looming over my head.

Mushrooms work great as a meat substitute as they have a meaty texture. Shiitake mushrooms would also taste fabulous in your soup, plus they have 24% of your daily requirement of Vitamin D, good for a vegetarians and vegans who might not eat animal sources of vitamin D.
Wow that looks great. I prefer the soups with things to chew in. Other soups annoy me. But you probably already know that. haha.
oh this looks excellent. i love soups like this. i've been craving tofu!
That looks really good! You should enter it in Lisa's Kitchen mushroom soup contest.
Nice! This is what I call a great soup recipe. I tried dried oyster mushrooms the other day, not too crazy about the taste, fresh is best. Thanks for the comment on my blog :) I'm hosting a blog carnival on April 23, the details are on my blog, I would love to put this recipe on my post, let me know if your interested.
