Tomato Noodle Soup

This is a favourite! So simple and delicious.
I found it in the Winter 2010 Food & Drink magazine from the LCBO, I shouldn't have waited so long to post it....

4 green onions
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 can (398 mL) diced tomato
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup mirin
1 tbsp sugar
4 cups vegetable stock
1 package soba noodles

1. Cook noodles al dente according to package directions. Rinse with cold water and set aside.

2. Mince the white parts of the green onions, coarsely chop the green parts. Set the green parts aside. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced white parts of the green onions and the diced tomato.

3. Add soy sauce, mirin and sugar. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Add stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, covered.

4. Put as many noodles as you like in a bowl and cover with the hot tomato broth. Garnish with green onions.

I guarantee you will make this recipe over and over again!
The magazine recommends serving Sake or a crisp, refreshing white wine with it.

A few notes on the ingredients... I've experimented with a few different kinds of soy sauce and they've all worked well. Mirin can be found in health food stores. I've used white sugar and brown, both delish.  My favourite noodles are Sobaya brand but feel free to use any kind that tickles your fancy.
This recipe is super hard to fuck up.
