Here in the Upper Midwest, spring hasn’t quite sprung yet. Between the deep freeze of winter and May flowers, we tend to steer an uneven path with blustery days aplenty. Rather than firing up the grill, this season is best handled with lighter comfort food to keep away the chills.

For the noodle lover, this bowl of Chicken Mushroom Udon Soup will surely hit the sweet spot. It is light and tasty, yet warm and comforting. Perfect for lunch on a chilly day!

Udon

Fresh udon is not as easily available here in Minnesota. Fortunately, there is dried udon. Like a lot of pasta, dried udon takes about 12 minutes to cook. Once cooked, a thorough rinse is recommended to remove excessive starch. This prevents the noodles from sticking together and keeps the broth the noodles are in remain clear.

For convenience, I used regular button mushrooms. You can use shiitake mushrooms if preferred. It is not necessary to precook the baby spinach. Pouring hot broth over them is sufficient to wilt and cook them almost instantly.

    Hi Linda,

    I just made something very similar for a quick dinner – chicken mushroom and prawn soba noodle soup. Very satisfying indeed. Just followed your steps and voila, dinner ready in a jiffy! Compliments from hubby too, which means a fair bit from someone who does not like soup!

    The purplish bag is gorgeous, going over to read all about it now.

    Looks delicious. My husband loves udon noodles so I’m going to make this for him tonight. It’s freezing right now in Tennessee so this will be a perfect meal to warm up.
