It is and it's one of the simpler versions I have come across. The other ones have ingredients which you can only find in Asian grocery stores.

Awesome, you'll have to let me know what you think. You know that other one I posted: the bok choy, mushroom & tofu soup? I made it twice this week.. that's how much my husband and I like it. By the way, I made jillybean's Asian Lettuce Cups tonight. Those were really good, too!

Ok, I need to broaden my horizons and post more non-Chinese recipes. LOL! Anyways, there are many different ways to make this soup but I chose one where the ingredients can be purchased in a regular grocery store. This is a really super easy recipe, too.
