Daikon was one of those strange vegetables that showed up in my farm box and I was never quite sure what to do with it… until this soup.
When it comes to Asian-inspired cuisine, it’s hard to choose just one favorite. Start your meal with this ginger daikon mushroom soup and then follow it up with a protein-filled entree such as beef and broccoli or orange chicken..
