Rating: 4 out of 5.

This soup is best served with soba noodles which adds 114 calories per cup of noodles. You can also serve with rice or rice noodles. Jacob likes it with a potato added.

*Sugar snap peas have a string along the edge, sometimes when they are really fresh it’s barely noticeable. When you are prepping them break off the tips and just pull and the string should come with it. You can also shuck the peas and just eat the insides.
