Hot and Sour Soup

So....I've had a cold for what seems like forever.   I can't get rid of it.   I've been eating a lot of soup, because it feels so good on my throat.    I love hot and sour soup, but I have no clue what the nutritional content is coming from the local Chinese Restaurant......so of course I had to make my own.   It took me a few tries to get the broth JUST RIGHT....but now I've got it!!!

                                                                                            

1 package of Extra firm tofu, cut into thin slices

1 cup of mushrooms, cut into slices

1 can of bamboo shoots, cut into slices

7 cups of low sodium chicken broth

2 TBS low sodium soy sauce

3.5 TBS Annie Chuns Go Chu Jang Korean Sweet and Spicy sauce

1/2 TB sesame oil

1 package of shirataki noodles

2 packs of instant miso soup

This is an easy soup.......I just tossed everything except the instant miso soup together and let it come to a boil.    Then, I added the miso soup mix and let the entire pot simmer for about 45 minutes.

It was perfect.    It made a huge pot, and I will be the only one in my house eating it (hubby can't stand tofu or shirataki noodles!)

It makes 4 huge servings at exactly 197 calories per serving.   I ate only 1/2 a serving as a snack, and it totally cut the feeling of hunger.    Even better, three hours later I still felt full.  And the best, it is so freaking good!!   So, I will declare this a winner!!!

I actually stored the leftovers in old containers from the Chinese Restaurant, which shows just how much soup this makes.
