I love to pair Edamame Soup with entrees that have sesame oil or soy sauce. The sasame oil and soy sauce combination make this dish craveable. Warning 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.
