  6. Simmer, stirring constantly, until soup thickens, about 1 minute.

Recipe Note

An Asian-inspired soup that is decadent and rich. Perfect for a cold winter day and elegant enough for special holidays. I make this every year at our Christmas gathering, usually doubling the recipe, and my daughter always claims the leftovers to take home.
