"Kitchen sink soup" (sort of)

Made something yummy last night - it was supposed to be a soup that used up everything in the fridge, but all the broth got soaked up by the other ingredients.  It was too ugly to be photo-worthy, but it was delicious.  I'm looking forward to eating the leftovers today after they've had more time to percolate.  Here's what I did.

1.  Rounded up all vege odds and ends in the fridge - cabbage, portabellos, broccoli, some other stuff. Tossed it all in the food processor and pulsed until it was pretty small.

2.  Sauteed it all with several cloves of garlic (crushed) and some red chili sesame oil, then dumped the mixture into a big pot of vegetable broth.

3.  Diced some tofu and sauteed it for a minute or two, then tossed it into the pot.

4.  Added salt, pepper, tamari and mirin to taste; threw in a big hunk of ginger (which I later removed).

5.  Let the whole thing simmer for about half an hour.

6.  Added a big package of rice noodles and let them cook according to the package directions.  They soaked up all of the water so it ended up being kind of goulash-y.  Not beautiful, but really tasty and healthy!
