I\u2019m always up for soup and this recipe seemed especially simple.&#160; The soba noodles I purchased were only 30% buckwheat and 70% spring wheat, but I deemed them sufficient for my purposes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_0053.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"IMG_0053\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_0053\" src=\"http:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_0053_thumb.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"164\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The soup was as simple and tasty as I\u2019d hoped. I made a half batch of Julie\u2019s recipe, which was really simple to do, and used frozen sugar snap peas that I\u2019d defrosted in the microwave. All of the other ingredients (vegetable stock, soy sauce, garlic, rice vinegar and sesame oil) I already had on hand.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_0060.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"IMG_0060\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_0060\" src=\"http:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_0060_thumb.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>All that to say, this recipe is going to go into the regular rotation. The buckwheat noodles reminded Brian and I of al dente whole wheat pasta, which is our usual pasta of choice. For that reason, it might not appeal to some people but we really liked it.&#160; It will be perfect for those busy days when there\u2019s not much time to cook something else.<\/p>\n<p>I couldn\u2019t be satisfied with just one buckwheat experience, so I also attempted making hot buckwheat cereal.&#160; Twice.&#160; It did not turn out as well as the soup.<\/p>\n<p>I purchased some buckwheat groats from the bulk bin at our local co-op and followed Courtney\u2019s suggestions in \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sweettoothsweetlife.com\/2011\/09\/13\/an-ode-to-buckwheat-bowls\/\">An Ode to Buckwheat Bowls<\/a>\u201d. Because I\u2019m lazy, I used the microwave instructions.&#160; The result was a bowl full of hot milk with pieces of buckwheat floating in it.&#160; The smell of the vanilla extract was almost overpowering.&#160; For some bizarre reason, I ate a decent amount of it, knowing full well that what I had made was not at all what a buckwheat bowl was supposed to look like.<\/p>\n<p>My second attempt involved following the 3rd, 4th and 5th steps of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ehow.com\/how_5720419_cook-buckwheat-groats.html\">these directions<\/a> which did result in something that actually looked like hot cereal:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_0080.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"IMG_0080\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_0080\" src=\"http:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_0080_thumb.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(If this does not look very appetizing to you, I understand. But it was a vast improvement over my first batch.)<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Brian and I both agreed that it still didn\u2019t taste very good.&#160; I didn\u2019t toast the buckwheat, which may be the problem, but I haven\u2019t been in any hurry to make another attempt.&#160; I\u2019m just not sure that I\u2019m going to become a buckwheat cereal lover (sorry Courtney!).<\/p>\n<p>So, to summarize: soba noodles are my cup of tea\u2026or soup, rather.&#160; Buckwheat groats, not so much.<\/p>\n<p>Next month: oats.&#160; Thank goodness for a month that features a grain that I\u2019m already a fan of!<\/p>\n<!-- Begin Yuzo --><div class='yuzo_related_post style-1'  data-version='5.12.89'><!-- without result --><div class='yuzo_clearfixed yuzo__title yuzo__title'><h3>Related Posts<\/h3><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"relatedthumb \" style=\"width:125px;float:left;overflow:hidden;\">  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/menu-plans-105-1011\/\"  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"yuzo-img-wrap \" style=\"width: 125px;height:90px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yuzo-img\" style=\"background:url('https:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/vermont-pumpkins_thumb-150x150.jpg') 50% 50% no-repeat;width: 125px;height:90px;margin-bottom: 5px;background-size: cover; \"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t   <span class=\"yuzo__text--title\" style=\"font-size:13px;\">Menu Plans 10\/5-10\/11<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"relatedthumb \" style=\"width:125px;float:left;overflow:hidden;\">  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/highlights-pumpkin-recipes-and-more\/\"  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"yuzo-img-wrap \" style=\"width: 125px;height:90px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yuzo-img\" style=\"background:url('https:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/pumpkins-150x150.jpg') 50% 50% no-repeat;width: 125px;height:90px;margin-bottom: 5px;background-size: cover; \"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t   <span class=\"yuzo__text--title\" style=\"font-size:13px;\">Highlights: Pumpkin Recipes (and More!)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"relatedthumb \" style=\"width:125px;float:left;overflow:hidden;\">  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/honeymoon-food-3-iron-hill-brewery\/\"  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"yuzo-img-wrap \" style=\"width: 125px;height:90px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yuzo-img\" style=\"background:url('http:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/3836871698_b8986fd50b.jpg') 50% 50% no-repeat;width: 125px;height:90px;margin-bottom: 5px;background-size: cover; \"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t   <span class=\"yuzo__text--title\" style=\"font-size:13px;\">Honeymoon Food #3: Iron Hill Brewery<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"relatedthumb \" style=\"width:125px;float:left;overflow:hidden;\">  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/highlights-resolved\/\"  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"yuzo-img-wrap \" style=\"width: 125px;height:90px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yuzo-img\" style=\"background:url('http:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Logo.png') 50% 50% no-repeat;width: 125px;height:90px;margin-bottom: 5px;background-size: cover; \"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t   <span class=\"yuzo__text--title\" style=\"font-size:13px;\">Highlights: Resolved<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div>\n<\/div> <script>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  jQuery(document).ready(function( $ ){\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/jQuery('.yuzo_related_post').equalizer({ overflow : 'relatedthumb' });\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tjQuery('.yuzo_related_post .yuzo_wraps').equalizer({ columns : '> div' });\n\t\t\t\t\t\t   })\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/script> <!-- End Yuzo :) -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In September, I discovered the Whole Grain Council\u2019s \u201cgrain of the month\u201d calendar and have been trying out a new grain each month since then, just because I needed to add another goal to my life.
