Enoki Mushroom Soup

Enoki mushrooms are those beautiful, long-stemmed white mushrooms you see in Asian cuisine - and they make the most elegant, delicate soup. With their mild, slightly fruity flavor and unique crunchy-yet-tender texture, they're unlike any other mushroom.

This Japanese-inspired soup is all about clean, pure flavors. The dashi broth provides umami depth, while the enoki add visual beauty and a pleasant crunch. It's light enough to start any meal.
