I love to pair Edamame Soup with all of my Asian entrees. Do not make this soup with regular spinach only use baby spinach. I cooked it with regular spinach and it changes the flavor of the entire soup.
I found this recipe in my Skinnytaste Cookbook. If you don’t have this cookbook buy it because it’s one of the best cookbooks I own.
