Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1/2 onion diced
- 4 cloves of garlic minced
- 4-5 mushrooms quartered
- 6 cups water
- 1 medium white daikon radish peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch slices
- 1 medium carrot peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch slices
- 3-4 baby potatoes peeled
- 1/2 ear of corn sliced into 1-inch slices
- 1 and 1/2 tsp sea salt adjust to taste
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
- 1 small pak choi diced, optional

Instructions
- In a large saucepan or pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and garlic and sauté for 3-5 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and sauté for another 3 minutes.
- Next, pour in the water and add the sliced radish, carrot, baby potatoes, and corn. Season with salt, sugar, and ground black pepper. Cover and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. If using pak choi, add it to the pot near the end of cooking and let simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
- Taste and adjust the saltiness if needed. Stir in the chopped cilantro and remove from heat.
- Cook the macaroni in a large pot of salted water according to the package instructions.
- To serve, divide the cooked macaroni between 3 serving bowls and pour the piping hot broth over it. Add some of the radishes, mushrooms, carrots, and potatoes. Garnish with more fresh cilantro, and serve immediately!
- This soup will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. I recommend cooking the noodles just before serving.
