- Rinse the canned baby corn and canned water chestnuts. Cut the baby corn as needed into ½ inch pieces. Cut the water chestnuts in halves. Transfer the baby corn and water chestnuts to the cooking pot.
- Peel the carrots. Cut them into ½ inch thick rounds. Add the carrots to the cooking pot.
- Holding the end of the stalk, chop the bok choy into thin ribbons. Add the bok choy to the cooking pot.
- Peel and finely dice the ginger root. Add the ginger to the cooking pot.
- Thoroughly wash and mince the cilantro. Add it to the cooking pot.
- Add the bay leaves, salt, and water to the cooking pot.
- Place the lid on the cooking pot. Cook on low for 6 hours to make the soup broth.
- Transfer broth (2 cups per serving) to a stove-top pot. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Keep an eye on it so that the broth doesn’t boil over. Using the lid reduces the evaporation of the broth.
- While the broth is coming to a boil, thaw shrimp (5 per serving) by running them under cold water.
- Add soba noodles to the broth (1 oz per serving). Cook for the length of time instructed on the noodle package.
- When there is 1 minute left on the cook time for the noodles, add the shrimp to the pot.
Notes:
Any size of shrimp works well for this recipe. Adjust the number of shrimp per serving as needed. The complete soup, with noodles and shrimp, does not keep well for leftovers.
This recipe was developed using a Crock Pot 6-quart slow cooker with stove-top browning.
