Sayote and Misua Soup

This soup recipe was something me and my siblings enjoyed during a stormy day.  The sayote would be picked from a neighbor’s backyard. Sometimes, my mother would serve this with fried fish.

Ingredients:

2     bunches misua
1     onion, sliced
3     cloves garlic, minced
2     tablespoons, ginger, chopped
3     cups vegetable soup stock
2     pieces sayote, julienned
2     tablespoons peanut oil
1     teaspoon salt
1     teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

In a warm skillet, saute garlic in oil, add onion and ginger, fry until onions are translucent. Add the vegetable soup stock. Add salt and freshly ground pepper.  Bring to a boil. Drop in the sayote and cook until tender. Add the misua and stir so that the noodles will not stick. Remove from heat. Let stand for about 3 minutes, then serve while still hot.  Serves 4.
