• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup ginger, fresh chopped
• 1/4 cup garlic, fresh chopped
• 1 cup mushroom, fresh sliced
• 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar, japanese
• 2 tablespoons sugar, white granulated
• 1 1/4 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoots, drained
• 2 cups water
• 1/3 cup cornstarch
• 1800 ml low sodium chicken broth
• 2 (600 g) bags frozen oriental-style vegetables (I use Europes Best Brand)
• 12 ounces spinach, fresh chopped

1. Saute first 4 ingredients together for 5 min, add mushrooms for another few min untill almost tender.
2. Add next 5 ingredients and set aside. (Bamboo will absorb more flavors from peppers and soya if allowed to sit for a few minutes.).
3. Chop spinach and set aside.
4. Mix water and corn starch in a seperate bowl or cup untill smooth.
5. Replace pot on stove, add water & cornstarch mixture to soya and bamboo mixture, cook till somewhat thickened.
6. Slowly add chicken stock and bring to boil.
7. Add oriental vegetables, simmer about 4 minutes,.
8. Add spinach and simmer untill spinach is just wilted.
9. Enjoy your guilt free soup!
