Ok, so I wanted to like this recipe out of the box. To me, instant soup has always stood for quick, cheap, nasty goodness. Kind of like college spring break in a bowl. But this was to be more refined, more sensible. A soup that was quick and easy but still good for you. Well it was easy to make. And yes, I get the healthy. But has it lost too much of the cheap and nasty? Has it lost it's trail park soul? So I looked over the ingredients in the food processor again. What was this lacking? A troll through the pantry and I came back with at least year-old bonito flakes. (Corn flakes eventually go bad but do bonito flakes?) Anyway, into the mix and I tasted again-- now it worked. Now I got the green healthy with a kick of peppers and ginger, but also a faint whisper of cheap dollar store umami. Thanks Food52! Oh and marie bella, if you were that girl from years back on Clearwater Beach, I was going to call....but um..I lost your number ...and..

This is gorgeous and ridiculously simply for something with such a flavour impact. No doubt, palates that lack adventure won't see the beauty of this, but this could easily become one of my new go to recipes. Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to read the rest of Swanson's book!
