FAT AND CHEWY


For most of us in the northern hemisphere, October is autumn, when the warm days of summer begin to fly south, pulling down the cold Canadian air. Soup time! Chilly weather makes hot soup taste sooo good!

Annie Chun's Miso Soup Bowl will satisfy you. Not only vegan and low-fat, it is made in the U.S.A. Even the packaging is earth-friendly, using recycled cardboard for the outside, using no shrink wrap inside, and using a bowl made partially from cornstarch. The ingredients include thick udon noodles (see below for explanation) in a rich miso broth seasoned with scallions, spinach, and chunks of tofu. 


Udon noodles are fat, chewy Japanese wheat noodles best eaten fresh. For a fun site explaining different kinds of Asian noodles, check this out:


It leaves no weird aftertaste, only a hankering for a second bowl! As the label comments, "Our only request is that you slurp your noodles if you're enjoying yourself!"
