This looks so healthy! And so many variations can be done from this recipe. You could switch up the tea variety as well! Love the avocado in there! Yum!
any substitutes for the tea? i just don't see myself running out to find this particular tea to make this soup... I'm sure any broth could work, right?
Hi. Not with shitake mushrooms, no. I mean, the stalks are edible, but you'd be chewing on them for 20 minutes or so. Trim them off, but don't throw them away. Keep them for when you make stock, as they add a great flavour. Cheers!
You might want to omit the sugar in the recipe, just in case. If you need it, you can always add it in since butternut squash is a wee bit sweeter than kabocha.
I don't think it's too sweet, but remember, she added sugar to the recipe. If you don't want it too sweet, maybe remove the added sugar and that should give you a semblance of similarity to her original recipe.
I love your recipes. But you do realize that 80% of Americans live nowhere near a farmers market? How about healthy, clean recipes that we can source from an A&P, or a Kroger?
Right. And all urban areas have farmers markets. I live in an urban area right outside of Chicago. Nearest market is 20 miles away through traffic, and is only open 2 months a year.
Hello. Okay, forget about the farmer's market, and please allow me a moment to break down this recipe as an example. At any given time of year, you should be able to find shitake mushrooms at your local A&P, and I'm sure that squash goes by another name, but I can't think of it right now. However, if you can't find: "round, green, flat squash" in the grocery store, just use a zucchini. Why not? Check the tea aisle, and if no Chinese black tea is available, regular ol' orange pekoe or English breakfast will work. The point is, no recipe is set in stone. They're only laid out as a guideline to adapt and improvise with the ingredients available to us regularly. Unless you're the type who struggles to put milk onto corn flakes, that's just you cooking. So get creative, and have at it! Cheers!
I like how you make these recipes really simple and versatile, especially if you are on a budget.

I never knew tea could be used in soups! I love it.
really intrigued by this soup! I haven't really cooked with tea before but i'm excited to try this out
Oh my, this looks so good and tasty too.
I love a salad for breakfast with cold grilled salmon so this sounds heavenly!! :)

I'll try this tonight!
Looks delicious! I never see a soup with tea, so I have to try it! 😊
Desiree Alvaro Rodriguez there are certain Chinese dishes that use tea as base for the soup :)
Can't wait to try. Thanks!
YESSS! That healthy soup will provide us a resource of energy to start a new day :)
Love the soup!
Why do you cut the stalks off the mushroom? Is it not all equally edible?
oabuseer no I don't think it's edible. It's very fibrous and tough to chew. Just a tip ^^

jazzpoet1974 Thanks for the explanation! I didn't know that
Not a problemo! Happy cooking! :)
Don't throw them away though. Save them in a freezer bag until you have large handful, then make a mushroom stock.
Yummy!
OMG - looks great but what time i getting up in the morning to do this?
I'm guessing that, like all breakfast food, this can be eaten at any time of the day?
Nice! Gotta try this! Maybe I'll add a raw or poached egg in the mix.
YUM........!!!!
Can you do some recipes with protein?
Why are there never any options for captioning on these videos?
What kind of squash could I use to substitute?
Use butternut squash. It's very similar to kabocha and much easier to find. I find both at my Sprouts market.
Doodah Gurl ok thanks!

Hey, if I don't have that kind of squash, can I use other types in this soup? What else will suit this?
Use butternut squash, it's very similar to kabocha. I find both at my Sprouts market.
I'm not from the States, but thankfully I have access to butternut squash - isn't that too sweet? I thought of using Thai squash.
I don't think it's too sweet, but remember, she added sugar to the recipe. If you don't want it too sweet, maybe remove the added sugar and that should give you a semblance of similarity to her original recipe.
Looks good but I want more broth
This looks amazing but I just want me cereal
You've been going " help us get to 1million subs" a lot lately...

This is a late breakfast.
I love your recipes. But you do realize that 80% of Americans live nowhere near a farmers market? How about healthy, clean recipes that we can source from an A&P, or a Kroger?
Actually, as of the 2010 census, 80% of Americans live in urban areas (which likely have farmer's markets). The other 20% may have more difficulty.
Right. And all urban areas have farmers markets. I live in an urban area right outside of Chicago. Nearest market is 20 miles away through traffic, and is only open 2 months a year.

jazzpoet1974 thanks for the subs!!! Although I live 20-30 mins away from a farmers market and don't mind driving.
No problem! Remember, the only thing you shouldn't bring into your kitchen, is stress. Happy cooking! :)
23rd!
