The delicate flavor of this soup makes it an excellent choice for the first

course of an Asian-inspired meal.

 

Soak dried mushrooms in 1/2 cup hot water for 20 minutes. Remove mushrooms

from soaking water; reserve liquid. Chop mushrooms; set aside.

 

In large saucepan, bring 1/4 cup water and soy sauce to a boil. Add

jicama, carrots and onion. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until tender,

about 8 minutes. Add mushrooms with reserved liquid, tofu, 5 cups water,

vinegar, Szechuan sauce and salt. Bring to a simmer, add dissolved

cornstarch and simmer, stirring, until thickened.
